 A lot of people might not see the business value in Jody Padar's tweet asking what AT&T's proposed purchase of T-Mobile could do to the cost basis of AT&T stock.

At one time, the Internet must have seemed like a paradise for a small firm, with seemingly limitless opportunities to spread the word on the firm's brand and to find new clients. Today, technology easily supports these advantages, but not every aspect is entirely positive.

About a decade ago, in the heyday of firm consolidation, giants such as American Express gobbled up several firms a month - and all of them weren't large; many were small, local firms just ripe for the picking. Although the consolidators were usually mum about their payouts, the formula then, in terms of valuing a firm, was about 1.5 times annual billings plus 10 percent, according to professional journals and research at that time.
