Google said Tuesday that it means to buy Norway's publicly traded VoIP codec
house Global IP Solutions Holding AB (GIPS) for $68.2 million cash, a move
that could put it in contention with Skype not to mention the telecom
companies that are selling its phones.
The deal, which represents a 27.5% premium over GIPs' closing price Friday,
will also give Google ownership of parts of the technology underlying the
instant messaging systems used by Yahoo, AOL and Baidu. Global IP Solutions
makes the real-time processing software for voice and video calls over the

scheme under a shiny new deal.
Google already owns Gizmo5, a California VoIP start-up it bought late last

White House Office of Science and Technology Policy seeking copies of email

Consumer Watchdog on Wednesday called on the state attorneys general to
investigate Google's WiSpy snooping in their respective states to determine
what state laws were broken.
"While the activity is likely a violation of federal laws, we believe there
is a good possibility it also broke state wiretap, privacy and unfair
business practices laws in many cases," wrote John M. Simpson, consumer
