MCI Accepts Verizon Buyout







MCI Accepts Verizon Buyout

MCI Accepts Verizon Buyout 03/29/2005 08:00 PM

MCI announced Tuesday that its board had decided to accept an updated offer from Verizon rather than Qwest, which should end a month and a half standoff between the three companies as well as shareholders. The new offer is for $7.6 billion in cash and stock - about $1 billion above Verizon's previous offer. The  accepted offer is still lower than the 8.45 billion offered by Qwest. Why not go with the highest bidder? MCI has expressed concerns over Qwest's financial strength, including the fact that it would need to finance the takeover. One finds it hard to see how any of these mergers will benefit the consumer.

AOL advertising buyout


AOL advertising buyout 06/29/2004 03:20 PM
AOL has purchased Advertising.com in an all cash deal to help them to increase their online advertising revenue. Early figures indicate that industry wide website advertising revenue could rise to 6.78 billion by the end of the year. It appears that AOL is becoming less focused on just advertising on their own websites and will be moving on to making their mark on the rest of the internet. It will also be interesting to see how this affects the volume of advertising that already exists on their own portals and websites.

Nextel Accepts Paying Customers in N.
Carolina
04/14/2004 02:21 PM
Nextel is opening up its trial broadband wireless network in North Carolina to paying customers: The network uses proprietary hardware from Flarion. Initial trialers came from Cisco, Nortel, and IBM and they offered their comments on the service. Nextel is also expanding the network to cover a broader range and offering a special $50 price for PC cards and modems. The monthly pricing options are pretty good too. For $50 a month, users get unlimited 750 Kbps down and 250 Kbps up. That's comparable to DSL or cable modem service but also includes the benefit of mobility. Higher speeds are available for higher prices. If Nextel decides to roll this out in other markets, the operator would again be carving itself a unique spot in the market. The other cellular operators seem to be focusing their data services on cell phones, not laptop users. Those services are also more expensive than Nextel's offering. Plus, Nextel is positioning its service as a replacement for DSL or cable while the other cellular operators are touting their data offerings mainly as mobile services. But once again Nextel would be using a proprietary technology which means the network will be more expensive for Nextel to build than the standard gear used by the other cellular operators and Nextel would have to build an extensive network because users can't roam. As Nextel moves forward with the North Carolina offering and beings advertising, it'll be interesting to watch how the service is positioned. I think it's notable that one of the quotes from a trialer in the news release says that he stops in at cafes to open his laptop and use the Nextel service. That sounds like a direct shot at Wi-Fi offerings in cafes....
