"Under the terms of the extension, Overture will continue to provide its sponsored search results to MSN sites in the U.S. and Canada, Europe and Asia. The previous agreement ran through June 2005."

So it will take 2 years for Msn to launch their own se ppc? That will stretch their ROI..

That sounds like a long time away. I would have thought that MSN could have launched their own PPC service by next summer.
