米AOL、売却を検討 - Yahoo! か Microsoft の手に？

米Time Warnerが America Online (AOL) 部門の売却を検討しており、候補は Yahoo! や Microsoft ？ - そんな話を New York Daily News が報じています。

Parsons is said to be seeking $20 billion for AOL - more than double what he's being offered by financial buyers. "He's being approached," a source said. "He has no plans to do anything right now." But while financial buyers are being spurned, sources said they expect Parsons to listen to strategic buyers, such as Microsoft or Yahoo, who could merge their operations with AOL and slash costs.
