Cablevision Voom Goes Away

Cablevision Voom Goes Away 12/24/2004 12:18 PM
Back in 2002 when Echostar was trying to buy DirecTV, the government was making some noises about how there wouldn't be any more competition in the satellite TV space. So, to cook up some competition, Echostar approached cable provider Cablevision about startin g up a weak competitor in the space just to show there was some competition. Well, the Echostar/DirecTV deal fell apart anyway, but Cablevision somehow got it in their head that launchi ng a satellite was still a good idea, even if there were questions about how far it could reach (who needs to supply the Western half of the US anyway?). Then, they decided they would pay for this insanely expensive, questionable deal by focusin g on the high end customers who want things like HDTV. Of course, there aren't that many of those people out there, and there isn't that much HDTV content either. It turns out things worked out just about as badly as everyone expected, and now Cablevision is looking to sell off Voom. Who's the expected buyer? Well, none other than Echostar , the company who started this whole mess in the first place by pushing Cablevision to get into the satellite business.

America Online on Monday announced plans to launch a Web-based radio service with XM Satellite Radio in a move that may help XM win customers from AOL's 24 million subscribers, driving XM shares higher. The service, which will offer about 200 channels streamed over the Web in CD-quality sound for a monthly fee, will combine existing stations from both partners and will begin to roll out this summer. The service, which will cost an estimated $5 a month, will be available for free to AOL's current paying subscribers.

Satellite May Offer Fast Bi-Directional
Train Service 09/09/2004 12:29 PM
21Net, a UK company, says its technology can enable faster bi-directional wireless Internet service on trains than other options: Some other companies offer systems that use the cellular data networks to send data from trains to the Internet. 21Net says that it can use satellite links to support a higher speed service. During trials, four laptops on a train were connected at 700 Kbps each. Wi-Fi on commuter trips is one place where the business case for fee-based access is pretty clear. There's a captive audience eager to make use of what otherwise might be considered wasted time. In other satellite-backhaul news, a government IT magazine has more details about the network some troops in Afghanistan set up to improve their Internet access. It sounds like the kind of network the army should be offering troops. The soldiers have also hooked up VoIP phones to the network for far cheaper calling home than the Iridium phones offered by the army....

Despite a three-year head start, satellite TV providers will lose their DVR edge over cable companies by 2006, according to Internet-Based Video Services, a new white paper from research firm Parks Associates.Although satellite companies began offering DVRs as early as 1999, they will not be able to overcome the advantages cable companies have in offering a complete bundle of fully integrated services. Parks Associates forecasts that, as a result, over one-half of all DVRs deployed by service providers in 2006 will come from the cable MSOs. [PRWEB Aug 2, 2004]
