Microsoft ha annunciato l'acquisizione del provider Teleo di San Francisco, gestore specializzato nei servizi di comunicazione VoIP. Il colosso di Redmond intende offrire nel prossimo futuro, servizi di chiamate dal pc a rete fissa integrandole nei software MSN Messenger, Outlook ed Internet Explorer.
Brooke Richardson, lead product manager per MSN afferma:
"They were doing a lot of things that we found interesting in terms of helping us accelerate the time frame of us being able to bring new things to market for customers,"
"We have been looking at a reproach in terms of how we were going to bring that technology to the next level,"
"In terms of accelerating out time to market and innovating more quickly the buy decision made a lot of sense especially given the synergies with what they are doing and what we were looking to do,"
