Quanta resignation heralds potential takeover

Foxconn tipped

By INQUIRER staff

Thu Jul 12 2007, 09:20

A REPORT suggested that the departure of Quanta president Michael Wang could lead to the firm being taken over by Taiwanese giant Hon Hai (Foxconn).

Quanta is one of the biggest ODMs (original design manufacturers) and churns out notebooks under contract for a bevy of familiar multinational names.

But the last few years has seen increasing consolidation in the Taiwanese IT market.

The Taipei Times reports that Wang quit earlier this week because he was opposed to a takeover by Hon Hai, which is one of the big three manufacturing giants, along with Asustek and Flextronics. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
