How Google bought Android
Yet another example of how what looks later as a slam dunk &#x2F; sure winner acquisition is anything but for those involved during the process.<p>Also, not sure if it&#x27;s covered elsewhere in the book, but it would&#x27;ve been interesting to get to understand Google&#x27;s motivation for doing this deal. My understanding is that Google understood mobile was important and given that, at the time, network operators had a lot of control over mobile software, the fear was that they could control access to the search engine and, hence, exclude or take control over Google.
