Microsoft, News Corp and Google
Microsoft and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp are rumored to be in talks over an agreement that would see News Corp's news Websites delisted from Google search in exchange for payment by Microsoft. While Microsoft has declined to comment on the rumors, the Financial Times has suggested through an anonymous source that the talks are in early stages. Throughout 2009, Microsoft has been securing deals with Yahoo and other companies as part of a broad strategy to eat into Google’s market-share.
