Comcast Signals Unhappiness With Google from the Wall Street Journal reports that Comcast is in talks with Microsoft to see if they would give them a larger piece of the search revenue pie than Google currently does.


Comcast, “one of the biggest non-Google sources of search queries handled by Google,” is expected to earn $70 million this year from Google but reportedly feels it should be making at least $100 million.
