Re: Verizon Yahoo Deal
@DHagar Exactly. That there is hardly a learning curve makes this buy a no-brainer for Verizon.

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
There is no question that deregulation is the norm--as long as competition is maintained.  Hopefully the future will work to be transformational on a broad basis.

Re: Verizon Yahoo Deal
Verizon is able to execute--no doubt.   With what is going on with AOL, it will be very interesting to be witness to.

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
@Michelle, I am with you on the interest in how this develops.  With Verizon's resources and marketing capabilities, we will see what Yahoo can become.  Of course now that Verizon owns AOL I think a picture is forming of their interest in becoming more of a digital company - so Yahoo fits.  We will see where their vision takes them and how well they are able to implement it.

Re: Verizon Yahoo Deal
@srufolo1, that may be their "golden goose".  They are truly buying a lot of internet knowledge and experience that is inherently in Yahoo, so this, along with Yahoo's customer base, presents a positive opportunity to drive forward with Verizon's developing digital focus.

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
@DHagar Verzion owns AOL too?! I can't believe I didn't know that already. I think this means Verzion will continue picking up old Internet brands for bargin deals...

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
@mpouraryan - I would be surprised if the new administration is really all that concerned about competition. So long as profits are being maintained, I think they would probably be satisfied. We'll find out I guess.

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
@DHagar - I have to wonder if Verizon will even work to keep Yahoo as we know it in tact. They may just take the technology and client base and turn it into something else altogether, something much more "Verizon-like" than "Yahoo-like." Especially given that the name of Yahoo has left a lot to be desired as far as stirring thoughts of "cutting-edge, new technology."

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
The new Administration clearly thinks bigger is better--the consumer seems to be lost in the shuffle.   Let's indeed see where it all goes.

Re: Verizon/Yahoo
Hopefully Verizon is able to capitalize on these one billion users. I don't think it's going to be any easy task to start monetizing on this deal. 

The one thing I am wondering is if Verizon intends to use Yahoo's assets to create mobile apps the way Google has done. It would take a lot of engineering to pull off, but it's got to be part of the plan here.
