Google-Yahoo! deal reshaped for US Govt acceptance

By Prashant Sharma 4 November 2008 One Comment

Google-Yahoo! deal has just been revised to tunnel through government’s issues with the deal.The revisedĀ version putsĀ 25 percent cap on the search-based revenues that Yahoo can generate from the deal and also reduces the partnership tenure from 10 years to just 2 years.

This simply means that Yahoo! has much less financial interests left in the deal and therefore they will have to keep putting their efforts into their own search advertising system.

Specially the two year tenure will actually give opportunity to Yahoo! to improve their services and discontinue the deal whenever they feel like.A deal for a decade could be a long-term pain for Yahoo!.

Although Google-Yahoo! deal is suspected to be affected by the US election results but such chances are slim by our judgement.

So,Microsoft has a reason to be happy today !
