Yahoo!'s 166 million registered user base- meet ATT CallVantage
I’ve just watched AT&T Chairman and CEO Dave Dorman’s speech to the American Enterprise Institute earlier today.
He mentioned the possibility of a merged SBC-AT&T entity harnessing the power and reach of the existing SBC Yahoo! Internet access partnership to sell AT&T’s CallVantage VoIP service.
Dorman was particularly excited about the prospect of CallVantage being marketed to Yahoo’s worldwide base of 166 million registered users.
Gosh, that’s a lot of eyes, ears, wallets and pocketbooks.
If you were Dorman, would you envision SBC Yahoo! - and indeed, Yahoo! itself - as a dynamic sales and marketing channel? Let us know with a TalkBack.
