Informa to buy Datamonitor. It's a funny old world. Ovum buys RHK. Datamonitor buys Ovum, and now Informa buys the lot. At the same time, as recently as the end of last year, Informa is fending off the advances of Springer Science & Business Media.

Bottom line is yet another list of quality brands get lost to Informa. How long will it be before they buy Yankee, Gartner et al and totally remove the option of independent research?
