Explanation

Yahoo! was founded in January 1994, Amazon.com was founded in July 1994, and Orange mobile phone service launched in the UK in April 1994. All three companies launched in 1994, though the exact months differed.

AI explanation

1994 was a landmark year for the early internet and telecoms: Yahoo! was founded, Amazon.com was incorporated by Jeff Bezos, and Orange launched its mobile phone network in the UK. All three ventures trace their origin back to that same year, even though some of their public launches (like Amazon's website) rolled out shortly after. This makes 1994 the year most commonly cited for this cluster of tech milestones.
