Telecom/media consolidation: Hold on to
your seat! 02/12/2004 02:13 PM
Get ready for the next wave of big telecom and media consolidation.  Not just the normal accretion deals, but the potential game changers.  AOL/Time Warner and Comcast/AT&T Broadband were among the highlights the last merger wave. 

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Vodaphone was considering a bid for Verizon, as a way to take control of Verizon Wireless.  That deal likely won't happen -- expect Vodaphone to unwind its interest in Verizon Wireless in connection with a purchase of AT&T Wireless -- but when a >$150 billion company like Verizon is in play, watch out. 

The next shoe dropped today: Comcast is proposing to acquire Disney.  There is logic to the deal, though it's 1980s logic: combine content and conduit at scale to squeeze more profits from the entertainment bundle.  That's not going to work in the emerging broadband media ecosystem, where platforms, applications, and content are different layers of the stack.  Comcast-Disney would also have the same challenge as AOL-Time Warner: a national content footprint mismatched with a regional broadband infrastructure footprint.  Nonetheless, it's striking that Comcast, so soon after digesting AT&T broadband to become the largest cable operator, is ready to return to the merger trough. 

This won't be the last huge deal proposed in the current wave.  Everyone is in play.

Telecom 07/12/2004 07:35 PM
Microsoft has struck a deal with BT (British Telecom), which will allow it to resell Microsoft’s Live Meeting Web conferencing software to its existing customers. BT has also decided to use Live Meeting for its own teleconferencing needs. Since Microsoft had at one point struck a similar deal with MCI, the move to work closely with BT seemed to be the next obvious move.

Both will be big topics, but there was one announcement that I considered the bombshell of this event and it wasn't in either area.

Window Seat

Window Seat 05/27/2004 11:02 AM
Gregory Dicum's book "Window Seat: Reading the Landscape from the Air" sounds like a brilliant idea:

"Broken down by region, this unusual guide features 70 aerial photographs; a fold-out map of North America showing major flight paths; profiles of each region covering its landforms, waterways, and cities; tips on spotting major sights, such as the Northern Lights, the Grand Canyon, and Disney World; tips on spotting not-so-major sights such as prisons, mines, and Interstates; and straightforward, friendly text on cloud shapes, weather patterns, the continent's history, and more."

Did you know that the patterns of the streets in subdivisions lets you know when they were built? Or that the round ponds all over Florida are sinkholes? With Window Seat at your side, you'll learn these things. Keep it to yourself though--the person sitting next to you doesn't want to hear it. Link (Thanks, Eric!)

M.C.G. is short for Melbourne Cricket Ground, which is to cricket something like Yankee Stadium is to baseball. I want there to watch some cricket, but it got rained out an over and a bit after we got there (saw one LBW on a vicious fast ball). The M.C.G.’s under construction and I found out how they put the seats in stadiums. (Warning: contains 6M QuickTime movie)...

AK Rocker Videogame Seat

AK Rocker Videogame Seat 09/13/2004 07:22 AM

I had to share Fun Furde's incredulous attitude about this AK Rocker chair. Does anyone really need to use XtreMe Rocking Chairz in the "sand, snow or dirt?" It looks comfortable enough, I guess, but it would be sort of embarrassing to have one of these sitting around in your nice living room. They're cheap enough, at around $80 (or less on eBay, it seems), to consider getting a couple to play Gran Turismo 4 when it hits the streets.

Clearly, though, they should have called them "Rockaro" seats.
