After migration to verizon, how about yahoo and AOL email?
Will these two providers become the same one? or they get developed separately?

Predicting the future of such business mergers is difficult. The new Verizon Oath division won't fully start up until the merger completes, probably this summer. Maybe you will want to contribute to this Advertising Age poll:
As Verizon Makes an 'Oath,' Should It Erase the Yahoo or AOL Brands? (POLL) The details of the email service probably aren't a big focus at Verizon, and keeping email running is just a necessary expense. They care about brands producing revenue from advertising, advertising, advertising, and advertising (in that order). With regards to the Yahoo and AOL email systems, there are several levels of merger which are possible, including:
Here is a prediction (from me): The combined number of AOL and Yahoo accounts (or Oath accounts if they fully merge) will decrease over time. Email is becoming less important to those who are addicted to social media, and I doubt that there will be much interest in keeping multiple email accounts for most younger people in the future.

Statistics can prove anything! Obviously, social is big and growing, but the revenue is in email. That's why companies will not be abandoning email marketing, and email providers also know it is a way to gather revenue. Here's one link of interest: http://optinmonster.com/email-market...19-statistics/

My guess would be that Yahoo and AOL email will both continue to exist as addresses, even if the backends become merged.
