The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Microsoft is courting Verizon Wireless heavily and trying to get the carrier to offer Microsoft's search services rather than Google's. Google has been trying to become the default search provider on Verizon Wireless phones. Microsoft decided to step in and offer its own search services to Verizon at favorable terms. According to the Journal, Microsoft is offering more generous revenue sharing and a guarantee of substantially higher payments to Verizon. Verizon has not made a decision yet.
