Yahoo and MSN are already a DSL monopoly on Verizon. The $19.00 dollar plan only allows you to choose between MSN or Yahoo..... Anything else you have to pay like $40 and up... e.g. Earthlink etc.

Wireless search.

After researching the Sprint Instinct phone on the Sprint user groups , many users had bad things to say about the phone , but everyone said Microsoft`s Live Search was awesome. Seems to be the best search out there for a location-aware device.

Getting market share through deals is one thing, but what about the quality of the service? Windows Live Search is just crappy beyond belief. I love a lot Microsoft software, but Search is one of the worst for me.

Do you know Fast Searh and Tranfer (www.fastsearch.com). I guess not, you wouldn't be saying that.

it really is all about inbound marketing ... Make no mistake, this is a hugely strategic deal. It's not just about Microsoft purchasing the right to place their search bar on Verizon's phones. http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/2934066/38049638
