LONDON March 11 1999: - Yahoo! Europe today announced that Yahoo! Deutschland, www.yahoo.de, Germany's leading Web guide, has joined forces with Mannesmann Arcor, www.arcor.net, the second largest telecommunications service provider in Germany to make Internet access easier for the country's 8.4 million German-speaking users (Source: GfK Online-Monitor, 3rd wave). The new pay-as-you-go service, called Yahoo! Online, will launch in May 1999.

Yahoo! Online will be prominently featured on the Yahoo! Deutschland site. Downloading the service will create a Yahoo! Online icon on the user's PC and by clicking on this icon, the user's PC will automatically dial the Yahoo! Online number at Mannesmann Arcor, directly connecting the user to Yahoo! Deutschland's home page. The service will be charged on a pay-as-you-go basis at the same rate as Mannesman Arcor's "Internet By Call" product with the charges simply appearing on the user's phone bill. There are no monthly subscriber fees and no registration.

As part of this new relationship, a link to Yahoo! will be integrated into Mannesmann Arcor's website to give users of www.arcor.net direct access to Yahoo!

Fabiola Arredondo, Managing Director for Yahoo! Europe, said: "Yahoo! is committed to providing users with simple ways to get the most from the Web and we are therefore delighted to be working with Mannesman Arcor to provide a value-for-money internet access service for our millions of users in Germany. This latest launch forms part of a Europe-wide rollout of easy-to-use internet access services from Yahoo! which began with our alliance with BT in the UK last November."
