They are seeking to buy Yahoo’s Inc’s core business that has features of mail, news, and sports, and advertising tech and incorporating it into Verizon. Although both companies have not made a decision due to them wondering if the idea will be successful. Verizon’s financial officer Franc Shammo does not know if the shareholders will make from profit from revenues of this new idea and it can be a financial risk for both companies. Verizon in previous years has bought AOL Inc and incorporated mobile video streaming that was a success which brought profit for the company.
