A buddy sent me an e-mail asking for the largest Internet acquisitions. Here are the ones we’ve got so far. Please let me know which I’m missing:
- Verisign buys Network Solutions for $21b
- Terra buys Lycos for $12.5b
- @Home buys Excite for $6.7b
- NTT buys Verio for $6b
- Yahoo buys Broadcast.com for $5.7b
- Yahoo buys GeoCities for $3.5b + $1b options
- MFS buys UUNet for $2.2b
- E-Trade buys Telebank for $1.8b
- eBay buys PayPal for $1.5b
- Ameritrade buys Datek for $1.29b
I’m sure there are others. Trying to find the pure-play acquisitions.
