Joe, Verio and its Data Centers have been sold to.... worldlyinvestor.com Sector of the Day M&A Weekly Wrap: NTT Goes Dot-Com By Emily Burg, Correspondent Japan's NTT is building out its Internet-related business. WPP, Young and Rubicam look set to merge. Nippon Telephone and Telegraph (NYSE:NTT - news) made history this week, moving beyond the land of the rising sun and into the land of the stars and stripes with a $5 billion cash acquisition. NTT will acquire the remaining 90% of US Internet-service provider (ISP) Verio (Nasdaq:VRIO - news), in which it already held a 10% stake. NTT's offer included a 67% premium for Verio shares. Verio shares surged on the news of the deal, rising 61% for the week of through Thursday. NTT shares slipped 5% on concerns about how it will finance this hefty acquisition. Because of special Japanese laws concerning NTT's business activities, which require the Japanese government's approval on all transactions that involve stock, NTT chose to transact the deal in cash. The news is being greeted well by the investment community, which rarely sees cash deals of this size for Internet companies. And it's likely that this acquisition will be the first of many by NTT. Its mobile phone division NTT DoCoMo (OTC:NTDMY - news) also did some cross-border investing this week, taking a 15% stake in the mobile phone division of Dutch telecom KPN (NYSE:KPN - news). Together, this may mark the beginning of a trend for the one-time Japanese domestic telephone monopoly, which has recently expressed the intention to build out its Internet-related business, expand internationally and make a global network of integrated services
