Yahoo has made its fist European entertainment push: it has acquired online music service dotmusic and gaming site Games Domain, both wholly owned businesses of BT. The financial terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
Both the services will be integrated into both BT Yahoo Broadband’s offering and into Yahoo’s music and gaming activities on its UK & Ireland site.
Reuters: BT acquired dotmusic.com, one of the UK’s oldest music sites, last year with an aim to leverage the site’s music content and fan base to attract new customers to its OpenWorld broadband Internet services. The future of dotmusic.com became murky though when Yahoo struck a deal in June with BT to bring entertainment content to BT OpenWorld broadband customers. Yahoo has put its weight behind Launch, which made its European debut in June.
