Final bids for Yahoo

Deals for Yahoo, the last act. Today final bids for the Internet portal business, which include the search engine, email, advertising and the division of information, are expected. According to sources gathered by the "New York Times", the deadline for submission of bids is scheduled for Monday, while the short list will be examined shortly after the board of the American group that should communicate within short time time for its decisions.

The web historic brand has launched several rounds of offers since February, when it announced its intention to separate its Internet activities, more and more poised in a sector with very high competition, the two definitely more profitable investments in Asia, those in the giant Chinese ecommerce Alibaba and Yahoo Japan in Japanese.

Although Yahoo's online activities still collect traffic for over a billion unique users per month, the group is in the queue than the other competitors as far as the time spent online. Among the big names who have submitted bids for Yahoo's activities include telecom giants like Verizon and AT & T, several private equity and Dan Gilbert, who has the financial backing of Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffett. If funds could enact plans for downsizing costs to make profittevolie the Yahoo online audience, Verizon could merge the assets acquired by AOL, the web giant ended the perimeter of its activities.

The sale has, however, been slowed by some unpleasant revelations about expensive decisions made by Marissa Mayer, the chief executive. The biggest surprise was telling Yahoo bidders in June that they could be on the hook for more than $ 1 billion in immediate payments to Mozilla, which makes the Firefox web browser.
