------------------------------------
Microsoft will cut more than 150 positions in a restructuring of its UltimateTV business based in Silicon Valley, the San Jose Mercury News reported Tuesday.
The reorganization will eliminate Microsoft's UltimateTV division in Mountain View, Calif., which has about 500 employees, the newspaper said. About two-thirds of those employees will be consolidated into other Microsoft groups. The remaining 168 employees will be given three months to find other jobs within Microsoft or face severance.
The Mercury News said the UltimateTV service still will be provided to consumers.
On the satellite TV side, UltimateTV is offered through DirecTV.
