Comments on: Google buys Motorola: Vertical integration or Android IP play? http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2011/08/16/google-buys-motorola-vertical-integration-or-android-ip-play/ The Visible Hand in Economics Tue, 16 Aug 2011 03:25:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: agnitio http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2011/08/16/google-buys-motorola-vertical-integration-or-android-ip-play/#comment-33763 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:51:47 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=6071#comment-33763 In reply to Shouldabeenapatentattorney.

I find the whole Nortel saga fascinating. If you are looking at phone markets, Google isn’t exactly a giant relative to RIM/Apple.

The most fascinating part of it all is that Microsoft already has rights to use the Nortell patents, so gains nothing by owning them. To me that suggests something sinister!

Either way, could be a landmark shake-up in telco/tech markets.

The most interesting angle was the DOJ reportedly investigating Google’s rivals, a not-insignificant group, for unfairly collaborative purchase of the Nortel patents – ie. group activity to counter the giant, makes the giant the victim? See article here:
