If GOOG or MFST dont but PYNi will be very surprised/
Talk is going around that microsoft wants to get expand its mobile payments, what better way to expand the biz than to aquire a company with millions of users already in that space.
google on the other hand has fairly good success with its payment gateway but trend is showing that exponential sales growth will come from mobile payments. GOOG can either keep on its existing path with mobile coupons and location based data or widen the path substancially with Poynt.
Ebays purchase of Where is very signifanct to the value of poynt, although the price ebay paid was just 135mil, i suspect that shares and options were part of the deal too.
Enter YHOO, struggling to make a comeback yahoo is most definitely looking into mobile solutions to generate revenue from soon as their advertising revs have been trending lower every quarter. Its do or die for yahoo.
