"Our cooperation with 皇冠体育app Mobile will help achieve Google's mission of making information available anytime, anywhere," said Lee Kai-fu, Google's vice-president, at a press briefing in Beijing.

In 皇冠体育app, Google is a distant second in search behind market leader , whose market share is three times larger than Google's.

皇冠体育app Mobile, which has cut its charges in recent years, is desperate to find new revenue sources other than its traditional services.

"From Google's earlier experience in the global market, our next step in cooperating with telecom carriers usually focuses on making possible the traditional Internet search services on common mobile phones."

Google has formed partnerships with many telecom carriers such as Vodafone in Europe, KDDI in Japan, Bharti Airtel in India and Sprint in the United States.

Last month, the company signed an agreement with Chunghwa Telecom Co Ltd, the largest telecom carrier in Taiwan Province, to provide a search engine on its "emome" mobile platform.
