I think Verizon is very close to realizing they're finally just becoming a utility and desperately want to stay in a higher-level game. But everybody completely ignores Verizon branded initiatives in this area (mostly because the combine being terrible with expensive). Buying existing brands is a much more likely path to success.
- Mahn 10y agoI read this acquisition as trying to take over as much of internet traffic "market share" as possible. Verizon is well into the online advertising game with AOL, so the larger piece of the pie they own the more control they have, and thus the better for them on the long term. It makes sense. The best buyer had to be someone that isn't Google or Facebook but is significantly invested in online advertising.
