Mobile broadband provider 3 Group has announced that it will offer Google mobile search services to its customers, following a global agreement signed by the two companies.
3 Group customers will benefit from direct access to Google search on their 3G handsets, giving them the opportunity to quickly access rich content via their mobile. 3 Group says the service will be rolled-out in individual markets in due course. 
“This is another key step for 3 in delivering a fully mobile Internet� says Christian Salbaing, Managing Director, European Telecommunications at 3 Group. “The mobile Internet has developed to such a degree that we can now leave the ‘walled garden’ behind and let our customers access and enjoy the very best of what the converged Internet and media worlds can offer.� 
For Google, Jim Holden, Director, Wireless Strategic Partnerships, says:
“We want people to be able to find useful information on the Internet wherever they are. 3 shares this goal. Mobile search offers people the chance of a rich Internet experience on the go. Our agreement takes us a step further to meeting this ambition.�
