The long-running saga over the fate of Yahoo! may be nearing its end.
A report from Bloomberg suggests that Verizon is in the final stages of acquisition talks with the embattled web pioneer.
The deal would reportedly top out at around $5bn, which may or may not include the huge tracts of Silicon Valley real estate Yahoo owns at its various offices.
Neither company has offered an official statement, and one probably will not come until the deal is either finalized or called off. ®
