SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 (Reuters) – Google executive
chairman Eric Schmidt said in court testimony on Tuesday that
money wasn’t the biggest reason negotiations between Google and
Sun Microsystems Inc for a mobile partnership fell apart.
Schmidt said Sun wanted roughly $30 million to $50 million
for a partnership around 2006, which Google would have paid.
However, Schmidt said the negotiations faltered on issues
surrounding control.
The testimony came on Tuesday in a high-stakes trial between
Oracle Corp and Google over smartphone technology.
