Bell Canada, the country's top Internet provider, will create a co-branded Web portal with Microsoft Corp. under a five-year pact announced on Monday.
Bell Canada said it will merge its Sympatico.ca portal, Canada's most visited Web site, with Microsoft's MSN.ca portal next spring in a new venture to be called Sympatico-MSN.
Bell Canada, a unit of Canadian telecom group BCE Inc. , will continue to provide the Canadian content for the portal, as well as customer support and marketing.
The joint portal will offer users direct access to Microsoft's security and communications software, such as the popular MSN Hotmail and MSN Messenger, Bell Canada said.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Bell Canada and Microsoft said they will share expenses and revenues.
Both companies said they will also try to develop new Internet services in areas such as home networking, mobile computing or interactive entertainment.
No layoffs are planned either at Sympatico, which employs about 200 persons, or at MSN.ca, which has 33.

Clawing his way in
Using Wolverine's razor-sharp claws to hack and slash through enemies consumes much of the game play, but strategy and stealth are also required to infiltrate high-security locations.
The title is divided into six "acts," each of which includes three or four levels of game play. Visually, the game is played from a cinematic "over the shoulder" third-person perspective. Wolverine travels to different parts of the world to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and collect key power-ups and other items.
Wow! Since it's so DIFFICULT to get them from Microsoft's sites... Thanks for giving us access Sympatico! You're a pal!
