Yahoo reconsiders Swiss commitment

Following a 78 percent drop in profits in the first quarter of the year, the internet company Yahoo is once again redimensioning its plans for French-speaking Switzerland. A European headquarters in Rolle will be abandoned and the planned data center in Avenches will be downsized, as reported by 24 Heures. Yahoo already has an A-One business center in the small Vaud town. Both the head and the CFO of the European organization have their offices there. The creation of one hundred jobs over five years is still being maintained. More details will not be announced until July, according to Netzwoche.ch.
