provider of wireless and Internet software and application services, and Vodafone Australia, a major provider of mobile telecommunications services, today announced that the companies have signed an extended agreement, demonstrating a renewed commitment to continue working together to deliver cutting edge mobile Internet services to Vodafone Australia's customers.

Since the launch of InfoSpace-powered services by Vodafone Australia in April of 2000, the company's "My Vodafone" service has quickly become one of Australia's most innovative mobile Internet offerings.

In July 2001, "My Nearest" was recognized by MIS Australia, one of Australia's leading information technology journals, with the prestigious Innovation Award in the Telecommunications category.

"The service differentiates us in the marketplace and has established us as a leading provider of mobile data services. InfoSpace has demonstrated its commitment to working closely with us as we continue to define and enhance our unique service offering and we look forward to continuing our relationship as we roll out more sophisticated, more advanced services to our customers."
