Tough call, Icy. Per a recent interview (believe it was in "BusinessWeek"), Rob Glaser did not rule out a merger (although he indicated he wasn't interested in being affiliated with "toasters"). Many people see a RNWK merger as inevitable. Still, Rob calls the shots. Under the present circumstances, trying to come up with a short list is tough, but here's a start: AOL/NSCP (needs it; first, Spinner and Nullsoft, then RNWK?) GE/NBCi (doesn't need it) DIS/SEEK (needs it) CMGI (LCOS) (no precedent for acquisition by CMGI; LCOS needs it) T/ATHM (didn't need it until Friday!) Vulcan/GNET (wildcard; acquisition would be out of character) TWX (needs it badly) NWS/FOX (needs it badly) CBS (needs it badly) VO/USAI (needs it badly) YHOO (doesn't need it) Feel free to comment.
