Yahoo! Ventures Further Down Under

Renai LeMay writes in C|Net News:

Seven Network and Yahoo will combine their online, mobile and Internet Protocol TV businesses in a new joint venture spanning Australia and New Zealand.

The broadcaster and the Internet powerhouse will form a new 50-50 holding company that will own Yahoo Australia and New Zealand, according to a joint statement released Friday. Both companies will combine their online teams to form a 150-person company that will launch with a new name and Web site on Jan. 30.

The agreement mirrors one between Nine Network and Microsoft, which in 1997 formed a similar alliance to create Australia's most popular Web site, Ninemsn.com.au.
