[dba-Tech] Microsoft to Acquire Nokia's cellphone business

I just read this whole thread. 
So, according to this thread, most connectivity is at population centers and
each of the big providers are fighting for market share of these deep pools.
The structure in place is ruled by, at best, fiber-optic cable.
Is the next logical conclusion that Microsoft will announce gigabyte or
terabyte data throughput via laser beam?
Or is one of the large cable companies to be the next takeover target?

Pretty interesting that Stephen Elop managed to get Nokia devalued to the
point that Microsoft was able to purchase for cheaper than the price they
paid for Skype. That's right... Skype.

Microsoft sure hasn't changed. It's still the exact same shady company as it
always has been.
