microsoft need it just as much if not more. Hope it happens to both.
Pretty much most of the big tech needs it.
Trying to think of a way to profit off the haords of concern trolls taking about "destabilizing the economy" if this ever became a thing. I don't know much but I know if the first thing happens the second thing is guaranteed.
Please let me know if anyone has an idea. Maybe like a "save Google" coin or NFT?
It wouldn’t fly anywhere but I’d laugh my ass off if some tech giant did it and then got bailed out by the state in return for controlling stake.
Years ago a Microsoft breakup was also once on the table, but it never happened.
I wouldn’t get too excited that regulators will follow through with this for Google either.
Specifically, it didn't happen because the supreme court made Bush Jr president and he killed it
Let us also not forget the Ma Bell breakup and what happened thereafter.
"Somehow.. Ma Bell returned."
Tell us the story, Grandpa!
Let's just say, the telcos didn't like being away from each other.
I'm unreasonably upset that They list it as Bellsouth rather than its original name, South Central Bell.
