So, I have a question and need an answer about this potential merger!
I recently purchased LVLT, Level 3 Communications, which provides
bandwidth for Youtube. I did this as a way to play Youtube, since
they're not public.
If Google buys Youtube, how will this impact Level 3? Will google
contract bandwidth from Level 3, or do they use their own bandwidth?
Thanks.
