Alltel Wireless! That’s what Verizon just paid for Alltel Corp. after today’s approval of the proposal by the Federal Trade Commission.

Mobile Devices, WiFi and Local Search. What do they have in common?

I recently read an article from Search Engine Watch that struck my interest. It was titled, Local Search Meets Mobile and WiFi and subtitled, Marketers should care about mobile search.
