Not really sure if I should think positively or negatively about this but it is literally crazy that comcast was able to buy time warner but these can't merge. That merge made nearly all of time-warner's area now have only one option. The only ISP that overlaped at all with time warner was comcast so it was the worst merger possible.
Staples has no blood left. I was in there on a black friday once and it was dead. They had good deals too on computers and tablets so it wasn't an "odd" place to shop on BF. Office depot is always full then. At some point it's not consolidating market share because one side doesn't have any and it because a last effort to sell off assets. If a business is going to die it may as well merge and Staples is dead.
Time warner on the other hand had quite an area of the US under thumb and wasn't going to die on its own.
