Horizon Advises Ookla on Acquisition

Last Monday (12/1/14), One of Horizon’s clients, Ookla, was acquired by Ziff Davis.

Ookla is the market leader in broadband network testing. Through its flagship B2C service Speedtest.net and its B2B NetGauge service used by nearly every major ISP, Ookla has built a dominant market position. Speedtest.net has delivered nearly seven billion speed tests globally since 2006.

Ziff Davis, a subsidiary of j2 Global, Inc., is a global digital media company specializing in the technology and gaming markets, reaching in-market buyers and influencers in both the consumer and business-to-business space. Ziff Davis sites, which feature trusted and comprehensive evaluations of the newest and hottest products, include PCMag.com, IGN.com, ExtremeTech.com, Geek.com and others.
