Yahoo! Germany Thursday teamed with Germany's second largest telco Mannesmann Arcor to provide Internet access.
The new access service launches in May and will be available through
Yahoo!'s home page. Upon installation, users can automatically dial the Yahoo! Online number at Mannesmann Arcor
and connect directly to Yahoo! Germany's starting page.
Internet users will pay for time logged on the Internet and will be charged
Arcor's "Internet by Call" tariff. The company said users will save money
since there is no recurring monthly fees or registration costs.
