US anti-trust officials are looking into AOL's stranglehold on the instant messaging market, as part of the investigation in the Internet firm's proposed $350bn merger with media giant, Time Warner.

AOL's competitors in the instant messaging market have complained to federal officials about the company's alleged monopolisation of the market.

Competitors like Microsoft and Yahoo! have found themselves locked out of AOL's Instant Messaging, which does not interoperate with other instant messaging software.
