More Companies Eyeing European Search Market For Takeover Targets

I am unable to confirm the information I have just received, but rumor has named two of the companies interested in the European Search Engine Network that I have posted about before. The first is Infosys.com whose name many not mean much to many in the US, but they are a huge player located in 23 countries and based in India. An IT services company, this deal could vault them into the search industry and they have extensive technology resources to pull it off and pull it off well. I have to admit I don't know much about the Indian search industry, but Infosys would become a major player overnight given the assets of the company they are thinking about buying.

The other name mentioned is also not one I have heard of, mobile and ISP Orange. This also makes perfect sense to me, since any mobile and Internet provider would be nuts to pass up on a deal like this. Orange is based in France so I'm sure that is the first place they would expand the Search Network to. It will be interesting to see what other players come to the table. I'm surprised no US companies have shown interest, but it may be just that word has not leaked out yet...
