Google and Orange's new joint venture has the potential to be successful
Cooper added: "It has a potential to be a success, and to offer commercial success for both companies, particularly if Orange can link it to its broadband offering. If I was Orange, I'd want to get a share of the ad click-through revenues. If I was Google, I'd want a share of the airtime revenue. The potential stumbling block is if it's clunky and hard to use". Google already offers its search engine and other services on mobile phones. It has a partnership with Vodafone and in November announced a broadband agreement with the operator. It is working to make YouTube, the video-sharing site it bought recently for £870m, easily accessible on handsets.
