They’re still reunites two companies, that is put in 2006. The new company will be called Viacom, CBS will have a combined revenue of $28 billion. This merger should not be a surprise to anyone as the space is consolidating by the day.

The only way this deal will be finalized is there for for cell phone company would materialize enter into the picture dish dish the satellite TV company has been running around buying bandwidth spectrums for cell phones for years. Not only that, but they are able to take over sprint and T mobile’s NBN o business and their sub companies as part of the deal, which would give them an instant cell phone company.

Automatic the parent company of WordPress just purchased number this week for around $3 million from Verizon. What is surprising is not the acquisition for isin has been unloading Yahoo properties lately, flicker was already unloaded recently as well to smugmug. What was surprising it has cheap automatic acquired Tumblr for six years ago Yahoo had purchased company for $1.1 billion. All I can say is how the mighty have fallen. Now it should be added. Automatic has also agreed to keep on the 200 employees from rice network on Tumblr project as well as absorb tumblers current debt. But it’s still a bargain. The next step from axios get Tumblr out of rising ecosystem and change Tumblr to a WordPress back end.
