Acquisitions

Google never ceases to amaze everyone; after all it must keep up its reputation of king Midas of the Internet. After just being caught with its hands in the cookie jar, Google moved on and acquired a corporation that develops real-time voice and video processing software. The attention has been redirected extremely fast, thus shooting two birds with one fire: ending all talks about the data collected by mistake and developing the company’s audio and video Internet branch. Moving forth to the latest topic on Google, it is vital to mention that the Internet is continuously expanding and requires innovation in order! to remain on top of the competition. Therefore, as video and audio communication over the Internet is becoming more and more important for surfers, Google needed something that will help the company to be like usually, one step ahead of the competition (aka Microsoft, Yahoo, etc). Global IP Solutions offers VoIP solutions for real-time communications over IP networks. Among its most famous projects there are the narrowband iLBC and wideband iSAC speech codecs. The customers are service providers, developers and hardware manufacturers which get a premium service in solving real-time audio and video applications impairments. In fact, Google and GIPS are for the time been in talks and the deal has yet to be signed. GIPS shareholders must still approve the offer made by Google: a premium of 142.1% over the market’s share price. The good news is that competition watchdog can rest undisturbed as the deal doesnR! 17;t require its approval-at least that’s what the two c! orporati ons involved in the deal are saying.
