Rambler wants ICQ too
It seems that the fight for ICQ flares up serious. It became known that another portal from the “Big Three” - Rambler - was connected to the trade. Recall that earlier, the desire to buy the most popular in RuNet IM-messenger expressed DST (Mail.ru) and, according to rumors , "Yandex".
All of our portals have been officially cooperating with AOL for several years now and are releasing Russian ICQ clones. Rambler Media has been doing this since the summer of 2005, when they released Rambler ICQ. Since 2008, Rambler has the exclusive right to sell advertisements for the Russian-speaking ICQ audience.
According to reports, we are talking about an amount of about $ 200-250 million. In this sense, the inclusion of Rambler Media in the trade looks rather strange: for the first half. In 2009, the company's revenue was only $ 30.8 million, and the net loss was $ 689 thousand. The company's reserves are also small, that is, the Rambler cannot buy anything for their money and will again have to go into debt.
