Dear Professor,
In a related development,...Salam.<br /><br />Dear Professor,<br /><br />In a related development, Google has also been [subjected] to escaping the taxation treatment in the UK, by leveraging into the tax heaven's privilege. As of to date, the dailies in the UK understood and learnt that the reason of escaping the tax is due to it's business strategy. Also, Competition issues, are amongst the top-list-priority that Google's counsels are and will be looking into (and, now, are already on their plates). Too many issues for Google to deal with. Ironically, when a company (the most admired company to work with) like Google faces these issues, I wonder, how would the General Counsel and the Legal Team react upon in ensuring that their business is legal, regulated, compliant and sustainable. <br /><br />P/S: A friend of mine who is working in Google said that the<br />patented floating Google's server (server on ships) that made the major headlines on the internet tend to be an April Fool. I am unsure, how truth it is. Maybe a strategy or maybe a PR exercise. Nevertheless, it's interesting to see a dynamic company like Google is making me (personally), captivated and impressed with its technology breakthrough, which at times, the laws, regulations and any soft laws are still crawling to reach its synchronization.<br /><br />A two (2) pence thought, though.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Wadi<br />LondonNoriswadi Ismail, Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09485014126729066049noreply@blogger.com
