In Norway it has been taken by local portals, such as start.no. Yahoo has also been abandoned by many local businesses, who would rather have a presence on local protals. I think the scandinavian market is reaching a good level of maturity and Yahoo may have realised that, since they haven't broken in by now, it is a good time to cut their losses and go. I don't think many people there will miss them.

Considering the percentage of people online in Scandinavia (some of the highest in the world) this may also be an indicator for the future of other local Yahoos.
