ICOA Corp. CEO: $400M Google Acquisition ?NOT TRUE. We Never Had Discussions With Any Potential Acquirers? [Update: Now Google Also Confirms]

Chalk it up to process journalism, or to a sneaky "stock promoter." The CEO of WiFi provider ICOA Corp confirmed to TechCrunch -- and Google has now also confirmed -- that it has not been acquired by Google for $400 million - a story that had made the rounds earlier today. "This is NOT TRUE!!" wrote CEO George Strouthopoulos in an email. "Never had any discussions with any potential acquirers!! This is absolutely false!" he wrote in an email. "Someone, I guess a stock promoter with a dubious interest, is disseminating wrong, false and misleading info in the PR circles."
