I know the author is in good faith and is probably very knowledgeable, but I have a few observations:
1 - Betteridge's law says "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." which, in this case, is the same answer the author(s?) offer themselves in the article. So title alludes to something is hinted not very plausible in the content
2 - Networks have existed before, and will exist after EDSA, people asked the same question 50-40-30 years ago about the television (and the radio). I'm old enough to remember it since when I was a kid. Nothing really happened to broadcasters, they have in fact all been bought by even larger companies.
3 - questions like what will it mean if an instance ends up generating above EUR 10 million in annual turnover or hires more than 50 staff members are casting doubts when the answer is already well known: it will happen what has always happened, once they reach the tipping point, they'll split.
It's been observed in the past 10 decades in every sector of the economy.
One example is the proliferation of small companies in Italy where the limits for some of the more pressing obligations are set at "more than 15 employees" with the result that "over 93% of the Italian companies have less than 15 employees" [1]
