Microsoft And Time Warner Resume Talks

Posted by Zonk on from the divvying-up-the-internet dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "Seems as though Microsoft and Time Warner have come back together at the negotiating table." From the article: "The two companies are focused on combining AOL's Web content with Microsoft's search-engine technology, although other aspects of the talks are sketchy. It isn't clear whether they are considering merging their Internet dial-up businesses, which generate lots of cash, the paper said. The two companies originally began discussions about some sort of Internet deal earlier this year. But the talks stalled in the late summer over a range of issues including technical obstacles and questions about control."

    Zur Zeit ist Dialup wohl noch verkäuflich, aber in 3-4 Jahren wird wohl kaum noch jemand dafür zahlen, und im Broadband-Bereich haben sowohl MSN als auch AOL verschlafen. Das kann also wohl nur so eine Art Klub der Toten Provider werden.
