Facebook and Google are interested in buying Skype

Someone could spend a lot of money soon to buy Skype, according to Reuters, both Facebook and Google are behind this popular shopping service that is used daily by millions of people, and everything indicates that in both cases and would have produced the first conversations.

Mark Zuckerberg would have dealt with those responsible for Skype to make an offer for the purchase or form a joint venture. The bid that could make Facebook could wind between 3 and 4 billion dollars. According to one source who has given this information the general manager of Skype would have delayed the decision on the offer up to half of the year hoping that the number could rise by about one billion more.

Google would have the talks at an early stage, although in his case were not disclosed the amount of the offer, but it is expected that the intention is similar to that of the network, or the purchase of Skype or the creation of a joint venture.

This is the situation that Skype currently has one in which more than one company may have desires to be, because it does not always have two major Internet companies in the struggle to make an offer to purchase. This can start a battle that can go in for them to increase the offer price is that both Google and Facebook may have many reasons to be concerned by that service, reinforcing its plans for the development of VoIP in Skype is very experienced.

We'll see how it ends this exciting contest and who is the one who gets the upper hand, if any does. For now, all parties have refused to make comment.
