Microsoft, Verizon ink search deal
LAS VEGAS -- Microsoft has beaten out Google and Yahoo for a search deal with mobile giant Verizon, according to a Reuters report today. This was one of the news items the Redmond company was trying to keep under wraps until tonight's Consumer Electronics Show keynote, but Reuters says Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg let the news slip at a Citigroup conference.
Coverage note: I'm at CES now and I'll be posting this evening from the Microsoft keynote, which will feature CEO Steve Ballmer. Check back at 6:30 p.m. for a summary of the news the company is announcing here. I'll also have posts throughout the evening and a particularly interesting and unusual one shortly after midnight.
