Ballmer: Yahoo Bing deal will be global
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on Thursday suggested that the software giant's search deal with Yahoo is a global one and not just confined to the U.S. and Europe. The revelation came during the Microsoft chief's press conference in Tokyo during a swing through Southeast Asia.
"It's possible that we would extend that partnership with Yahoo outside of the U.S.," Ballmer told reporters at a news conference, a portion of which was posted to YouTube. "We will have to wait and see until we actually are able to get approval and consummate our partnership with Yahoo inside the U.S., and perhaps there will be news on that some other day," Ballmer added.
