Thomson Adds Reuters in $17 Billion Bid to Be Giant. By Ian Austen. The New York Times. May 16, 2007


"In the information age, content may be king. But the real power lies in what you can do with it. ... The merger will also make it easier for Thomson and Reuters to advance toward the ultimate service, a concept that is variously known as intelligent agent environment, algorithmic or black-box trading. Those systems would gather all the data and information used by traders, analyze it and make trades without human intervention."
