Microsoft and Time Warner resume talks on AOL acquisition

Saturday October 8, 2005,  9:07 am

The Wall Street Journal writes on Friday that Microsoft and Time Warner are once again engaged in talks. Details are sketchy but it seems that they may be concentrating on consolidating their dial-up operations. If you remember, Microsoft considered buying AOL in the mid nineties but instead took a pass and developed MSN. If the deal deepens this may spell some problems for Google who derives between 12 and 40% of their ad revenue (depending on who you listen to) from AOL.
