EUROCAST #6 – Facebook’s IPO Disaster, Yahoo’s (new) New CEO and Pay-As-You-Go ISP Pricing

It’s been another crazy week in marketing and tech news!

Tons going on, but the elephant in the room this week is Facebook and the investor disaster that’s resulted from (what analysts are saying was) an overpriced IPO that hit the public markets on May 18th.

Since the opening bell rang last friday Friday, the stock’s been in a free-fall mode and dropped almost 20%. Right now it’s sitting at $32 as I type this post and lawsuits are starting to fly in; aimed at everyone from bankers that priced the offering to Facebook and NASDAQ itself.

  • The Facebook IPO kerfuffle
  • The return of pay-for-what-you-use style data and bandwidth plans from wireless providers, ISPs and cable companies
  • Yahoo’s next chapter under new interim CEO Ross Levinsohn
