That is really true. Facebook buys Instagram for 1B$ and everyone know. Google buys Nest and everyone start to discuss about "Internet of things", but no one cares about ONO.
- baddox 13y agoFacebook, Instagram, Google, and Nest are all well-known in communities focused around Internet technology companies. I suspect that this acquisition is well-known and well-discussed in communities focused around telecommunication companies.
- voyou 13y agoFacebook's purchase of Instagram was big news because a lot of people thought of Instagram as an app that lets people post cheesy filtered selfies, and it seemed surprising that that was worth a billion dollars. Google buying Nest has a somewhat similar hook, in the sense that you can tell a story around "WTF is this company doing and why do Google think it's worth so much." Vodafone buying ONO is one telecommunications company buying another telecommunications company; it's not obvious why it would be interesting to anyone outside of the telecommunications industry.
