Dolan Tries To Get The FCC To Invalidate
His Own Company's Satellite Sale
03/30/2005 06:50 AM
The story of Charles Dolan and the Voom satellite TV offering only seems to get more and more bizarre with each passing chapter. The elder Dolan has been fighting hard to buy out Voom from Cablevision, a company where he still holds the position of chairman. This has resulted in some positively odd moves, including puttin g up a fake website to take orders for new customers for a service he didn't own and had no right to. The latest, though, goes even further. He's now asking the FCC to block the sale of Cablevision's satellite to EchoStar -- a deal his own company agreed to just a couple months ago. While earlier reports had suggested that Dolan planned to keep Voom running by leasing access to the (now) EchoStar satellite (and potentially others), it appears he's making a last ditch effort to get back the satellite that he's already sold. Of course, to make the whole thing even more complicated, Cablevision (which was rumored to be up for sale as a result of the family food fight in the board room) is now saying it might want to jump into the bidding for bankrupt cable operator, Adelphia.

Patent Group Forming


Patent Group Forming 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
Via Licensing is starting a group that aims to make it easier for companies to license patents related to 802.11: Via Licensing has formed similar groups for standards such as MPEG. The topic of patents in the Wi-Fi industry has taken center stage recently. Agere and Proxim have filed lawsuits against other companies for making 802.11 gear that they say infringes on their intellectual property. More recently, Nomadix and Calypso have received patents for functions in 802.11 networks and they say they'll pursue infringers, though we haven't heard of any action yet. The idea behind a licensing group is to offer a one stop shop where a vendor can go to pay for all patents related to 802.11 gear as they develop their products. But key to such a group is including members that have the important patents. Via Licensing hasn't revealed how many companies or which companies have expressed interest in the group. Retaining intellectual property is important but if these companies start trying to gouge each other with royalties it'll increase the price of products and stall the market. Then nobody will make any money. One of the reasons Wi-Fi has been so successful is that the equipment has gotten so cheap (an exec I spoke with yesterday said he saw an ad in the newspaper last weekend for a Wi-Fi card for $6.99, after rebates). I suppose that's a double-edged sword because while it means that more customers buy products it also means vendors see tighter margins. All the talk about patents recently may be an attempt by vendors to capitalize as best they can on a growing market....
