Facebook and Google consider buying or partnering with Skype, report says

Facebook and Google are each considering partnering with or taking over Skype, which has caused the Luxembourg-based Internet phone service to delay its plans to go public, according to a report.

Skype was planning to issue its initial public offering to the tune of about 100 million, but the company is now putting that plan on pause as two tech giants are independently mulling over getting involved with Skype, according to a Reuters report.- source La times
