Defending the case of Tera Mergers like Googazon

Amazon, Google, Quanta, Gigabyte, Asus, Foxconn, Yahoo, AOL, IBM, Intel .... These are all companies that have undergone or are rumoured to undergo tera-merging in a not-so distant future.

The ten companies mentioned are all considered as leaders/near-leaders in their respective fields and their financial size is nothing short of being exceptional.

Of those ten, four have already merged to create Tera-companies that rival some European countries by their sheer human and financial power.

Tera companies have the following features : breadth (they are global rather than international), weight (their market capitalisation runs in tens of billions of US Dollars), length (their products affect major segments of our living), depth (their influence on geopolitics and economics cannot be negated).

Foxconn+Quanta for example generates USD 2 Bln profits annually and builds everything from laptops, servers to motherboards.

Another sought-after and predicted merger/buyout is that of Amazon+Google. Google has one of the largest market capitalisations in the entire webosphere.

Tera-mergers are going to become more and more common, often caused by competition but also by the prospect of shrinking and changing markets.

Like drops of water coming together due to gravity, the smaller the number of remaining (bigger) companies, the faster the drop will tend to come together.
