BCE and Lycos finally agreed on a restructuring of Sympatico(Canada's biggest portal). They annouced last friday that BCE is to buy back the 29 % of shares Lycos had in Sympatico.

Lycos aquired those shares 2 1/2 years ago in exchange for Internet content. It seems that BCE was not satisfied with the deal. They switched to Google search results in January. Now a done deal.
