Google has signed a deal
with Japanese mobile phone company
KDDI Corp, and could
expand even further into the Chinese market following meetings with
China
Mobile.
The deal with KDDI, Japan's second largest mobile operator, will see KDDI's
customers using Google search technology to shop, find music, access books and
magazines, and download applications.
Google declined to reveal how much the KDDI deal was worth.
Wang Jianzhou, China Mobile's chairman and chief executive in Hong Kong,
confirmed that his company has held a second round of meetings with Google.
Jianzhou claimed that the two companies shared an idea to turn mobile phones
into "a new kind of search engine".
Any deal between the two companies would open up Google to the 260 million
subscribers on China Mobile's network.
Google has recently added a Chinese version of its search website, but was
criticised for censoring the results to toe the party
line in Beijing.
