Report: Microsoft meeting with Time Warner regarding AOL
ENT News | at | by Mike
Just two days after walking away from its $49.6 billion bid for Yahoo, the Times Online U.K. is reporting that Microsoft is meeting with Time Warner executives regarding a possible bid for America Online -- the very company Yahoo turned to in a possible attempt to stave off the takeover bid from Redmond.
According to the article published Monday, the talks started before the Yahoo-Microsoft negotiations fell apart -- possibly initiated back when "Microsoft was seeking to stymie discussions between Time Warner and Yahoo," as Times reporter Suzy Jagger wrote -- but, according to unnamed, sources have continued.
