Yahoo will embrace another corporate character and decrease the extent of its board to almost half of its size if the proposed $4.8 billion offer of its ‘digital services’ to Verizon Communications experiences.
The organization has made up a plan to change its name to ‘Altaba Inc.’ after turning over its email, website, various apps, publicizing components to Verizon.
