| Wow, bash away Hrmm..seems to me I recall a merger not long ago that doesn't seem to have benefited customers all that well. Anyone recall Time Warner and AOL? What about that deal between Comcast and Time Warner to buy out Adelphia?
All though that last one could be a bad example, depending how it fared for certain people in various areas.
The only real reason for many of these companies to merge is to consume their competition and reap more profit. I don't ever recall a merger taking place solely to benefit the consumer. That is not what big business is designed to do. They are beholden to their share holders and could care less what the "lowly" consumer really wants. Otherwise we'd get listened to much more often. |
