Microsoft-Yahoo Search Pact Cleared for Takeoff
The search partnership between Microsoft and Yahoo has cleared its last regulatory hurdle, as both the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission have given clearance for the arrangement to go forward.
The two companies announced on Thursday (Feb. 18) that they would begin the process of implementing the partnership immediately. Specifically, as per the deal struck last July, Yahoo’s search engine will employ Microsoft’s technology, while Yahoo will take over ad sales for both parties.
