Google and Yahoo ! postpone the settlement of their Advertising agreement

Last June, Google and Yahoo ! concluded a deal focused on the North-American area, upon which the Yahoo! Portal would display Google's sponsoring-links in the US and Canada during 4 years.

This agreement raised a general outcry among their competitors and other key actors putting forward the fact that this would state almost a monopoly position withing the on-line advertising field.

Today, these two actors announced that they will postpone to set up the deal in order to allow the American Departement of Justice to have an overall look into the ins and outs of the signed agreement.

However, they haven't yet been able to confirm the time to carry out the concluded agreement which should have initially take place on the forthcoming 11th October, after an already first postponement.
