Is Consolidation A Myth?

Is Consolidation A Myth? 12/23/2003 02:45 AM
Thought provoking piece over at Always-On suggesting that al l this fear about consolidation killing off competition is a big myth. While there are plenty of examples of companies buying up each other (and even areas where there are fewer companies within a specific space than before) consumers have more choice than ever before, leading to better products and lower prices. Sure, it may seem like there are big media conglomerates, but there are also plenty of independent websites that give people choice. Sure, there may be fewer small local banks, but there are plenty more banks that have expanded from other areas to serve a large population. Basically, what appears to be happening is that the regional companies are being eaten up, but there's plenty of competition on a global basis. Of course, there are still some exceptions (I'm still limited in my broadband connection choice, for instance), but these might be temporary monopolies, rather than a permanent state of affairs. I'm not sure it's completely true, but I do think some fears about consolidation everywhere are overblown.

Af ter the Web's Nuclear Winter, Diller Acquires ZeroDegrees?

Is the Web’s ‘Nuclear Winter’ over? And is the warmth of all of the emerging interest in Social Networking Services helping to melt the ice? BusinessWeek’s Timothy Mullaney posits that we might be in a thaw, in an article today about Barry Diller’s [CEO of InterActiveCorp] acquisition of ZeroDegrees — Diller’s Latest Little Bet on the Net — [some other InterActiveCorp companies — Expedia, Hotels.com, Home Shopping Network, Ticketmaster, Evite, Match.com, uDate, Citysearch, LendingTree, and Hotwire.com.]

Diller could make other forays into the social-networking area, says Dan Marriott, an IAC senior vice-president and head of the new-business unit. He says IAC is looking at other dating and social-connection sites, and might make an acquisition if the business can be tied to a classified advertising model, as San Francisco-based Tribe Networks is attempting. “The classified-ad approach Tribe has identified is a valid approach,” said Marriott. “There will be a market there. But we felt the business side is the right place to start.”

Dan Gillmor finds himself reluctantly supporting a Comcast-Disney merger:


Whether Comcast or someone else buys Disney, it will provoke a debate about the implications of media consolidation and the marriage of content and conduit.  If the merger partners say (as they surely will) that they won't discriminate against unaffiliated content and applications, they should have no objection to a public commitment to that effect.

The Mobile Consolidation Begins

The Mobile Consolidation Begins 02/17/2004 10:32 AM

AP: Cing ular agrees to buy AT&T Wireless. The merger between the second and third largest U.S. wireless companies was announced Tuesday as Britain's Vodafone Group PLC withdrew from the contest after four days of rising bids.This merger won't necessarily be bad for competition.I've been using AT&T's GSM service for about a year now. Quality of service is marginal at best, and the customer service has been worse than marginal. But Cingular, also a GSM carrier, has an even worse reputation. So maybe combining these two networks will create something that offers at least reasonable quality.

It appears that tech company consolidation isn't just in the tech company space itself, but among those who analyze the tech space as well. Gartner Group has apparently decided to spend $165 million on META Group, the firm that once advised all companies to ban all cameraphones. Who knew that such bad advice could be so profitable?

Adobe Buying Macromedia -- Creative
Consolidation 04/18/2005 08:01 AM
With so much happening in the online world concerning images, graphics and publishing, it's been sort of interesting to watch both Adobe and Macromedia sort of stand aside and watch, without getting too involved. Both companies seem to have flashes of brilliance, but then also appear to be slow and a bit behind on various things happening online. It looks like the two will try to figure out where they're going together, as Adobe has announced plans to buy Macromedia for $3.4 billion. Of course, taking two different companies that both seem to have vision problems, and combining them, doesn't always do much for the combined entity. In fact, the time and effort spent combining can often lead the companies to take their eyes off the ball. However, given both companies dominant positions in certain areas, a well-executed merger certainly could do well. It's just a question of how well the plan can be executed.
