Yahoo in talks to buy NDN video: report

US Internet giant Yahoo is in talks to buy the online video service NDN, which could help it compete with YouTube, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Yahoo could pay $300 million in the deal for News Distribution Network, according to unnamed sources cited by the Journal.
