A conference in New York last week confirmed what many in the technology industry already knew - more companies are making deals, but they're not as big as in previous years.
According to a story from Reuters, researcher Dealogic reports that 1,991 deals involving tech companies have been made worldwide, with a value of $94 billion. The number of deals is a 16 percent increase from the same period last year, though the dollar value is down from $105 billion.
Of course, that dollar value will take a substantial leap should a Microsoft-Yahoo deal come to fruition. Then again, Google co-founder Larry Page says his company is a better fit for Yahoo because a deal between those two would have no trouble clearing antitrust issues.
The two companies continue to look at a long-term alliance that would put Google ads alongside Yahoo search results. Analysts, though, question Page's antitrust assertion - they say a Google-Yahoo pairing would face intense regulatory scrutiny.
