Private equity parties who are descending upon the wounded Marissa Mayer are Bain Capital Partners, KKR & Co. and TPG Capital.
Why would Verizon, Comcast or At&t need Microsoft to make a bid for Yahoo?

They don’t …but those partners assure AAPL is cut out of their plan

Because Marissa Meyer has brought insight and experience from Google and that can be parlayed to a competitive edge at Microsoft.
Yahoo is a dead company. There are assets which have value and couple that with the above it could give Mister Softy something of value.
