Por En la cima del mundo empresarial mediático se mantiene Alpabeth, la empresa controladora de Google. La escoltan, además de Sony, empresas que tienen su base en Estados Unidos, aunque comienza a figurar Altice, que con sede en Europa, ha podido crecer con base en adquisiciones.
Además del crecimiento de cada negocio o conglomerado en particular, los grandes grupos mediáticos se fortalecen mediante la compra o fusión. Todavía está por finalizarse el acuerdo para que AT&T se engulla a Time Warner, lo que daría pauta a la creación de la segunda empresa de medios más grande del mundo y controlada por un firma de telecomunicaciones. Todo indica que Disney, podría hacerse de 21st. Century Fox , y acaba de darse a conocer que la cadena inglesa exhibidora Cineworld (número 90 en el listado) acaba de llegara a un acuerdo para adquirir a su homóloga estadounidense Regal Entertainment Group (número 55 en el listado).
La industria mundial de medios y entretenimiento baila al son que le imponen la conformación de grandes consorcios que cada día absorben competidores, diversifican sus servicios y productos, amplían su presencia geográfica y, en una palabra, concentran más poder.
