• Microsoft Brings Bing To Mobile Through Verizon Wireless Partnership And More (Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:24:58 PDT)  

  Over the past few weeks, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) has kicked off a no-holds barred campaign to promote Bing, its new search engine. While most of the hullabaloo has been focused on the PC, the company is also moving the brand into mobile, where it faces steep competition.

  Most notably, the company has rolled out the brand on Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless’ network as part of an exclusive five-year deal it with the carrier to provide search and advertising services on the phone. Microsoft was rumored to pay $500 million for the opportunity, which was likely necessary given that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) dominate the rest of the U.S. wireless market.

  The match-up was announced in January, and Microsoft started rolling out search to subscribers in the past few weeks. So far, many subscribers are currently accessing Bing from Verizon’s portal page, and through high-end browsers, such as Opera, where it’s the default engine, Microsoft said. Later this year, it “will be preloaded on the majority of Verizon feature and smartphones,” according to a spokesperson. Microsoft’s GM for mobile media Charles Johnson told Bloomberg that in the first 20 days as Verizon’s default search, Microsoft’s handled 19 million queries, or 10 to 15 times the previous rate.

  UK mobile voice-to-SMS provider Spinvox recently won business with Telefonica (NYSE: TEF) in Latin America. It’s easily its biggest carrier deal so far. Any more like that, though, the company may need new growth finance…

  “You’ve got to remember that if I get another two or three deals like this—which will inevitably happen in the next few months—I’m going to have to scale up my business to support that,” co-founder Daniel Doulton told me.
