In addition, Lycos Asia announced access agreements with Globe Telecom, the Philippines' leading mobile telecommunications company, and Impact Net, one of the major Internet Service Providers in the Philippines. With the launch of Lycos Philippines, Lycos now delivers local content to 29 countries. The new site offers localized and relevant content that is built with the country's rapidly growing Internet population in mind. Content for the site is developed in collaboration with regional and local content providers, including many Internet startups from within the Philippines. The site also provides users a comprehensive array of top quality information and services including search, local directories, free e-mail and homepage building and channels of special interest and relevance to local communities.
Localization is key in our endeavor to engage a culturally diverse audience in Asia.
We have demonstrated that we can lead in all the countries that we have launched, and are entering the Philippines with the same goal in mind. Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
