Google Buys VoIP, Video Tech Company
Continuing its wave of acquisitions, Google is spending $68.2 million for Global IP Solutions, which sells technology used to deliver voice and video over IP networks, reports TechCrunch.
Google has been a longtime customer of the San Francisco company, which was founded in Sweden in July 1999. Yahoo, Nortel, Samsung and AOL have been customers as well, according to PaidContent.org.
Among the reasons Google wants it: It offers videoconferencing and chat capabilities for iPhone and iPad developers and recently expanded those capabilities to Android developers as well.
