First, we can't even assume that YHOO will be BCST's acquirer.

Nor can we assume that BCST will be acquired at all, at least anytime soon. The technology for streaming content appears to be essentially readily available. And BCST's strength is in (1) their corporate customers, and (2) their user base (eyeballs). If BCST decides they're worth more than any suitor is willing to pay, then they'll be "on their own". One thing seems certain: none of BCST's competitors is standing still on plans for broadband and streaming content.
