Theory - Verizon has a plan to buy the entire Internet, doesn't realize their plan is twenty years old. With AOL and Yahoo in their pocket, can AltaVista be far behind?

Shit, hope they don't buy GeoCities. They'll own the hosting for every popular website, think of the power!

edit: Shit, apparently GeoCities is owned by Yahoo, so they did in fact already buy them.

I wonder if/when they are/will be joining together but secretly because it would break a bunch of monopoly laws

the google internet cables worried me the most, controlling the worlds information is a scary thing

Just wait until they convert all of the pages to NetScape only for browsers.
