(Yahoo and Microsoft, just miles apart in a sleepy little town known as Quincy Washington). Do you honestly think these financial giants are doing this just for kicks? Or is something larger in mind? Perhaps a day when you can stream or download any programming of your choice from the internet at will, via any internet connection. We all need realize that the three Internet Giants (Microsoft,Yahoo and Google) are going to build their video platforms on an enormous level no matter what the phone and cable providers do in fact there really isn’t anyone that can do anything to stop this. Then consider that the big cable companies do not produce or actually create programming on say premium channels, your local networks or any other channel they simply pay the producers and owners of the content a subscriber fee and then resell it as part of a package to their customers.

Like you said this is nothing but speculation but your point about the data centers in Quincy is well taken. I would bet that if either company announced they needed land and asked for small towns to offer incentives they would come in by the truck load! May be it won't be a buy out but I believe you are onto something. MS and Yahoo clearly have something going on or else this decision to both locate in Potato country just makes no sense. Both choosing it at random? My odds of winning the lottery are better! Better go play tonight, Jim You know it really could happen.
