From formula1.com, 05 July 2006
"Formula One racing’s governing body, the FIA, has announced that tyre manufacturer Bridgestone has been selected as the official tyre supplier to the FIA Formula One World Championship in 2008, 2009 and 2010."
Michelin didnt accept the 1 tire provider rule.

In a related article at f1-live.com:
The Council also decided that Microsoft has won the tender to become 'official ECU supplier' for the same period.
Let's hope we don't see too many "blue LCDs" or that they don't bring "car crash" at a new level...

Hello
Dutch on this.
This one tire rule is taking the compedtiveness away from the sport. IMHO
They keep making all these changes and it is getting borring to watch the race. Now everyone will have the same tire pretty soon it will be called F1 3000A
