Google to own the App infrastructure behind Bing Travel?
- alec 16y agoThe linked article makes a very fundamental mistake. While ITA Software is the search engine "for many major airlines around the world, as well as travel sites such as Kayak, Orbitz, Hotwire and many others", it is not the "reservation systems" for those same companies. It's the difference between being able to search Hacker News and maintaining the database of users, comments, and stories. In fact, "sites such as Kayak, Orbitz, Hotwire and many others" do not have reservation systems of their own.
