In the wake of Microsoft's decision to pull its Yahoo offer, executives are trying to make the case that Redmond's online business can go it alone.
Microsoft last week launched a hostile US$44.6bn takeover bid to buy Web giant Yahoo. If the deal goes ahead it will be the latest in a line of multibillion-dollar mergers and acquisitions the tech sector has witnessed in recent years.
As Microsoft, AOL, News Corp dance to the smell of Yahoo's blood, Google's competitive threat has remained constant and if anything, looks stronger and more stable an option than before.
Rupert Murdoch has told investors at a US conference that News Corp is too small to fight Microsoft for Yahoo.
The Virginia, US-based Primus Telecom Group announced today its pending acquisition of Internet Service Provider AOL|7, expanding the group's customer base to nearly half-million strong.

So much for Netscape 8.0. That's one upshot of Thursday's settlement between Microsoft and AOL Time Warner, according to industry analysts.
Netscape these days survives as a desolate outpost in the vast AOL Time Warner empire, something akin to banishment to Irkutsk. But what if history had a different twist?
Hewlett-Packard will sidestep a Netscape-branded browser for its open-source original, a move the company calls a vote of confidence for the open-source model.
According to market researchers, as the new millennium arrives, widespread free Internet access will arrive with it. Both Dataquest and Datamonitor are predicting that the year 2000 will bring on the era of free Internet access that many technology pundits have been predicting for years.
Given all the delays and anticipation surrounding Netscape 6, one might think George Lucas was producing this browser. Was it worth the wait?
