Wire-based players will look both to defend and enhance their existing offerings via wireless acquisitions, and non-players will look for the deal that can bring them into the game. It will happen. But it won’t be tomorrow.
Predictor: Marino, Craig
Prediction, in context:In a 1993 article he wrote for Red Herring, Craig Marino, at the time an associate at Broadview Associates, an information technology investment bank, says: ”As wireless matures and IT players gain confidence in their understanding of the market and its direction, the stakes will get higher – and so will the investments. Marketing agreements will become joint development projects, and minority investments will become outright acquisitions. Wire-based players will look both to defend and enhance their existing offerings via wireless acquisitions, and non-players will look for the deal that can bring them into the game. It will happen. But it won’t be tomorrow.”
