Microsoft extends search revenue agreement with Yahoo
2013-05-08 13:54:10| InfoWorld: Top News
Microsoft has extended a search revenue guarantee agreement with Yahoo for one more year, amid reports that the Internet company is trying to break its 10-year agreement with Microsoft. The Redmond, Wash., software company, has agreed to extend the guarantee for an additional 12 months starting April 1, 2013, but only in the U.S., Yahoo said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday. Microsoft had in 2011 agreed to extend the guarantee in the U.S. and Canada through March 2013.

Yahoo! wants out of Microsoft search deal - report
2013-05-08 08:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Yahoo! has been quietly trying to find a way out of its web-search partnership with Microsoft, a person familiar with the situation told the Wall Street Journal. Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer has been seeking to end the contract since joining Yahoo from Google last year, the paper's source said, adding that Microsoft has indicated it wasn't interested in doing so. The company disclosed in a recent regulatory filing that Microsoft had extended a revenue guarantee associated with the partnership, the second such extension since the 10-year pact took effect in 2010. Yahoo's revenue per search has been worse under the Microsoft deal than when it operated its own web-search technology and advertising system. Unlike the prior revenue guarantees from Microsoft, the latest extension affects only the US. Meanwhile, Google has indicated to Yahoo over the past year that it is willing to enter into a potentially more lucrative partnership to provide web-search and search-advertising technology to Yahoo, according to people familiar with the matter. Google and Yahoo in 2008 tried to reach a similar pact but faced resistance from regulators. Yahoo is unlikely to get out of its contract with Microsoft until at least mid-2015, the midway point of the 10-year agreement, when either party can potentially opt out, said a person familiar with the contract.
