Data breach, or not, the data held within Yahoo's walls is, and will be, incredibly valuable to Verizon. Why do large companies buy smaller ones, only to shutter them? Verizon probably won't shutter Yahoo, but it'll drain the life out of the data. Past and future.

I am interested to see where this goes, though. Merge into the beast, or invest, and (possibly) grow. Although I doubt the latter, it's anyones guess at the moment.
