Excerpt from [Bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2016-04-20/yahoo-a-lesson-in-why-activist-investing-works-galloway) -- "... In terms of bidding, the odds \[favor\] Verizon because Verizon can afford to overpay $105 million; 105 million handsets plus the assets of AOL and Yahoo. You're looking at what can be the largest mobile network in the world. … The epicenter of growth around media is mobile advertising. So Verizon can probably come in and spill a billion or two billion bucks to get this thing over."
