Does WebRTC need a change in governance?
Is it time to change the governance of WebRTC in order to keep it growing and flourishing?
Read MoreAnother week, another WebRTC related acquisition took place.
Since the Tropo acquisition just a month ago, we had two more acquisitions:
When Atlassian acquired Jitsi I was a bit worried. We were nearing the end of April with only 3 acquisitions in 2015. With 8 acquisitions in 2014, this looked like another "boring" year. Well... we're now into the 7th acquisition of 2015 when it comes to WebRTC and we're almost 6 months in.
The chart below shows the WebRTC related acquisitions we've had since WebRTC's inception. We are growing steadily.
Most of the acquisitions this year are similar to the ones last year - they are about acquiring the market, the business models and the technology. Only two of them have been technology/acquihires (ScreenHero and Jitsi).
How will the second half if this year shape out to be? Which kind of vendors are we going to see acquired next?
This is shaping up to be a pretty interesting year for WebRTC.
