that we need to understand. they are making acquisitions and big investments. how much of this is moving toward a single unified strategy going forward? how much of this is responding to competitive dynamics? >> that is a great question. most13, alibaba was the dominant e-commerce player. that its platform was able to corner the market in the mobile device sector. what has happened is that they have a -- they have bought a 20% a. they are buying stakes in a variety of companies. there is a lot of heat on them. a lot of people are thinking that the $.10 platform will do a lot better. you will see a lot of consolidation with $.10 and alibaba. they are making it one of acquisitions.
