It was revealed yesterday that Sprint is in talks with
Charter to merge. For both parties, it
would be in response to the consumer preference to have one-stop, discounted
bundles for all telecom and media needs as the two industries continue to
converge. What makes things a bit more
interesting in this case is that Charter and Comcast agreed in May to get each
other’s blessing if they planned to sign a deal with a wireless company.
And, then, there is the question of who else is
talking or should be talking? Verizon
and …? Disney and …? CBS and …?
Viacom and …? T-Mobile and …? Netflix
and ...? I get the feeling that before the music stops, we will have a handful
of media/telecom super giants that “do it all”.
Is that what consumers want?
