Question


What impacts will be on the online business after such a big merger of history.
Don't you think it will wipe out all the small internet units?
Will it not decide the fate of third world countries by spreading its own version of ideologies?
Will this merger not work to destroy the variety of culture and civilization and pave the way for globaliztion of american kinds?
Are you ready to go after american dream?
Will you not work to hinder such big mergers in the future?
Are all the nations on earth are willy to give up their soveriegnities to be govern by the United States of America or the peoples like Bill Gates and owner of timewerner,CNN and times newspaper etc?

You see the point in this case is that AOL is a VERY small fish in the UK. Also Time WARNER make movies and cartoons. This merger doesn't increase their influence on ppls perceptions.

Also it probably does have a significant impact on smaller companies but this matter was taken to various industry regulators who approved the merger. There is very little that we can do.

Time Warner also owns CNN international.

We can't do much about this.

I don't like big companies getting bigger but hopefully they would have a conscience. You can't stop them.
