Opera CEO says hopes firm stays independent
Opera Software ASA chief executive Jon von Tetzchner hopes the Norwegian firm, known for its mobile browser, will stay independent despite major industry players increasing focus on the sector.
"We are stronger than ever. Some of the strength that we have is the fact that we are independent. We will work with everyone," Jon von Tetzchner said at the Reuters Global Technology summit in Paris.
Focus of the wireless industry has shifted to software development and Internet access after Apple and Google entered the industry -- leading to analysts speculating that Opera was a potential takeover target.
When asked whether he sees Opera as an independent company in five years' time, he said: "Hopefully. If we would be bought by someone it would probably very much limit our ability to play the role that we play."
