Google, Yahoo ad partnership delayed

Internet giants Google and Yahoo have agreed to delay implementing an advertising partnership to give the United States' Department of Justice time to finish investigating the proposed deal.The two companies are now in an indefinite holding pattern, raising more questions about whether the government plans to try to prevent the No. 1 and No. 2 search engines from cooperating. Google and Yahoo have vigorously defended the partnership, saying that it will have no impact on prices and that it is structured in a way to avoid antitrust concerns.
