Verizon, Google Close To Mobile Search Deal

According to the WSJ, Verizon is close to an agreement with Google on a wide-ranging partnership, in what could be a much-needed jolt for the anemic mobile search business.

"... The deal under discussion, which would make Google the default search provider on Verizon devices and give it a share of ad revenue, is aimed at dramatically simplifying what is now a confusing set of search options for cellphone users."
