Microsoft May Skunk Google in Verizon Bidding War
Microsoft and Verizon Wireless are said to be close to a deal that would make Windows Live Search the default search engine on Verizon handsets and expand the number of Verizon devices powered by the Windows Mobile operating system. News of an impending deal between the software giant and the soon-to-be No. 1 wireless operator was first reported in The Wall Street Journal. As part of the agreement, Microsoft and Verizon would share ad revenue generated by Windows Live Search queries. Verizon would also be guaranteed as much as $650 million over five years.
