The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Google is looking to acquire companies in Portugal with aim to reach the African market. Anil Hansjee, head of European corporate development at Google said; “We want to enter Africa, not through fixed-line Internet access but through mobile access. We think it would be easier if we worked with countries that work directly with these nations.” Anil added that the Portuguese market is a good test bed for larger markets like Africa.
