The technological convergence of companies from all corners of business has sparked the most sensational corporate shakeouts in history.

Now in an engrossing tale of big ideas, big egos, and the billions to be won or lost in the exploding communications industry, USA Today reporter Kevin Maney answers these questions and more. This insightful account includes:

• Predictions of the five biggest winners and the five biggest losers in megamedia in the next few years

• Profiles exploring the current and future direction of many of the world's leading companies including Time Warner, Microsoft, Disney, Intel, and IBM

Writing in a taut, hard-driving journalistic style, Maney takes us behind the scenes at leading companies for the first inside look at the shakeout in the communications industry. Megamedia Shakeout cuts through the hype to bring us a bold vision of the future and a clear-sighted, practical assessment of the exciting business and investment opportunities being opened up by the communications revolution.
