Webuserid,

According to an article in BusinessWeek Online, the SBC Yahoo
partnership is exclusive.

Relevant excerpt:

?Within the next four weeks, Yahoo will begin selling high-speed
Internet access through an exclusive partnership with SBC
Communications Inc. (SBC ) SBC subscribers who sign up for the service
will automatically reach the Web through a Yahoo portal. Yahoo will
take a cut of the subscription fees, an average of $3 to $5 a month,
predict analysts. Once broadband customers are on board, Semel plans
to sell them a host of offerings, from entertainment downloads to its
online personals. Add it all up, and this could generate $125 million
next year for Yahoo--46% of the company's projected 2003 growth,
according to WR Hambrecht & Co.?

From Knoxville Advertising Federation:

?What is the exclusivity level of the Yahoo!/SBC partnership. Is
Yahoo! open to other partnerships or would the company rather purchase
outright systems and products within its financial reach? What other
partnerships are in place? Is SBC Yahoo!'s only Telco partner??

?Yahoo!'s partnership with SBC is exclusive for DSL in the 13 states
in which SBC operates. We do currently have other ISP partnerships
with BT in the UK and Rogers in Canada. We are also working with
virtually all of the Telco companies in the Mobile space, including
AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Verison, Cingular and others. It is possible
Yahoo! will announce other partnerships in the Telco area during the
next 12 months.?
