Yes, in a report issued by The Wall Street Journal, Microsoft mentioned a step to control Skype. Funds needed to redeem the video call service provider sites were estimated at more than $ 7 billion.
Indeed, that figure was about twice larger than the figures facebook predicted about the value of Skype. Site made by Mark Zuckerberg was previously reported to have to weigh the price of Skype in the range of USD 3-4 billion.
No doubt, the issue in the Internet industry the world had led to the name facebook in the front row in the hunt for Skype. Founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg is even said to have internal talks to discuss the takeover plans for Skype.
Other news surfaced, the proposed joint venture between facebook with Skype when the conversation does not meet the acquisition agreement.
Another strong candidate is the buyer Skype Google. A source has stated that this Internet giant has also begun initial talks with Skype. It’s just that the subject related to the possibility of doing joint ventures.
But Google’s position when it is considered less powerful by Facebook. Analyst opinion, rather than with Google, Skype is better with Facebook. Eric Jackson, founder and manager of investment firm Ironfire Capital said, Skype is more profitable to unite with facebook when viewed from the ownership of assets.
“No surprise to me if both companies (the Facebook and Google-ed.) Drawn to Skype. It’s just that, it would be profitable (for Skype) for the joint facebook rather than Google,” he said.
Google itself has a voice and video chat service, so when the fact is the sites Skype video call service provider, this will be a ‘strange’, added the analyst with Hudson Square Research Rory Maher.
“Certainly there are opportunities that can be used if Google united with Skype, but I think this will get more leverage if the joint facebook,” he continued.
Just in an instant, Microsoft suddenly stabbed into the front row in the Skype hunt to overtake facebook and Google. Skype and Microsoft is still not giving an official statement about this hot issue. But The Wall Street Journal believes that this is an issue that can be trusted. Because leaked by sources close to the parties concerned.
