Microsoft Prepared To Stop AOL From Buying AT&T Broadband
from the be-prepared dept
Microsoft is apparently planning ahead. While AOL-Time Warner is thinking about possibly bidding on the AT&T cable unit that has already spurned an offer from Comcast, Microsoft is figuring out how they can use their financial clout to block AOL from buying AT&T Broadband. They may even give money to rival bidders.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
