PARIS (Reuters) - The French government said it would extend to the end of January the deadline for talks between Google Inc and the French press to settle a dispute over the search engine's links to online news articles.
Press associations
in France, and other European countries, want Google to pay when it
displays links to newspapers in Internet searches.
In reply, Google has threatened to stop indexing articles from the French press.
Talks between the
search engine and French publishers, which the government said are
advancing, were expected to wrap up by the end of the year.
If no deal were
struck, France would press ahead with a law that would force Google to
pay for the right to provide links to online news articles.
