O chefe executivo do Google, Eric Schmidt, negou esta semana as reportagens que afirmavam que o gigante das pesquisas competiria com o serviço de pagamentos on-line PayPal, embora admita que o site está a trabalhar num serviço semelhante.
Mesmo negando mais detalhes sobre o projecto, Schimidt deixou claro que não será um rival directo do PayPal. “Não queremos oferecer um sistema de pagamentos pessoa-para-pessoa”, declarou Schmidt numa entrevista ao site The Associated Press.
Google Inc. CEO Eric Schmidt on Tuesday denied recent media and analyst reports that the online search engine leader is gearing up to compete directly with eBay Inc.’s pioneering PayPal service, although he acknowledged some kind of electronic payment product is in the works.
Although he declined to provide any details about the project, Schmidt made it clear it won’t trespass on PayPal’s turf. “We do not intend to offer a person-to-person, stored-value payments system,” Schmidt said during an interview with The Associated Press.
