Curtis Akey, director of mergers and acquisitions at Bathgate Capital Partners, a microcap investment banking firm, said vendors are in the most difficult position after a customer merges because the new merged entity will often seek to cut costs swiftly at the vendor level.

The combined entity will offer a wide array of products and solutions and will have an expanded customer base encompassing the full spectrum of broadband content and service providers.
