America Online on Wednesday said it will feature advertising from the
Web-based Yellow Pages of SBC Communications Inc. and BellSouth
Corp. in an effort to beef up the Internet service's local search.

Yellowpages.com, a joint venture between SBC and BellSouth that
includes SBC's Smartpages.com and BellSouth's RealPages.com, will be
included in AOL's Yellow Pages feature.

The ability to search for businesses, restaurants and events within
specific cities and towns has emerged as a battleground among Internet
media sites such as Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, Google Inc., Yahoo
Inc. and Microsoft Corp.'s MSN.
