Time Warner and Microsoft have restarted discussions about forming an alliance of their Internet units, America Online and MSN, the Wall Street Journal reported in its Friday editions.
Citing sources with knowledge of the discussions, the newspaper reported that the two companies are focused on ways to combine AOL's Web content with Microsoft's search engine. It isn't clear whether the talks include the possibility of merging AOL's 20.7 million dial-up customers with Microsoft's 2.7 million dial-up customers.
