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]

Acacia Gets Cocky - Sues Satellite And
Cable Companies

Acacia Gets Cocky - Sues Satellite And
Cable Companies 06/15/2004 06:24 PM
It looks like patent hoarding company Acacia is getting a bit cocky these days. Last year, the company made a lot of news for getting a questionable patent on "streaming media" and then suing porn sites, since they knew people wouldn't pay as much attention to them. Many sites felt the need to pay up, and Acacia used that war chest to go after bigger companies like Disney. Along the way, they got all excited because a judge upheld their patent rights - but only because no one showed up to contest them. These wins seem to have made Acacia cocky, and they've now decided that any company offering video on demand over cable or satellite services are also violating their patents. Thus, they've sued Comcast, Cox, Charter, DirecTV and EchoStar for violating the patents. These are companies that have a lot of money, and hopefully at least a few of them will stand up to this blatant patent extortion. People have been talking about video-on-demand service for ages. It's not a new concept, and it's unclear (again) how this helps innovation in anyway. Right now, it only looks like it's going to make video-on-demand services more expensive. In fact, Acacia will even tell you how much more expensive: they want $1.25 for every digital cable subscriber with video-on-demand, $1 for every digital cable TV subscriber and $0.50 for every analog cable TV subscriber. If they win, expect to see these charges added to your next bill. Apparently, higher bills count as innovation these days.

TV over broadband will come from

existing satellite and cable brands,
says Analysys 09/24/2004 03:29 AM
TV content aggregation is not a business for network operators, who will do better to form partnerships with satellite and cable operators to sell TV over broadband. Gross margins on TV can be as low as 20% but operators need TV services to compete with triple-play competitors. Fixed broadband (BB) operators providing TV reduce the net present value (NPV) of their business model over the first five years, according to Analysys calculations for this report. Gambling games are the most profitable entertainment option for network operators. [PRWEB Sep 24, 2004]
