Google Inc. and BellSouth on Monday announced a multi-year agreement in which Google's Internet search engine will be available through the telecommunications carrier's customer portal.
The Atlanta-based BellSouth is replacing its homegrown technology with Google's engine, which was chosen over competitors following a "lengthy and rigorous evaluation," Tim Hill, director of portal services for BellSouth, said.
"Google's technologically advanced search capabilities and targeted ads on the BellSouth portal represent a win for both our Internet subscribers and BellSouth," Hill said in a statement.
Financial terms were not disclosed. Google is headquartered in Mountain View, Calif.
