Dot Consolidation Is Back

Dot Consolidation Is Back 04/19/2004 03:01 AM
In case you hadn't noticed, while the dot com IPO market looks to be heating up again, the busiest activity is actually over in the mergers and acquisitions area where internet companies are looking for consolidation opportunities before the prices of smaller companies get too out of hand again. Of course, there's no guarantee that acquiring companies will do much better than they've done in the past integrating a bunch of disparate companies into a single compelling entity, but people tend to ignore that in the heat of a merger opportunity.

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.
