Ben Graham Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The next broadband battle: AT&T/Dish and Verizon/Cable The business model for standalone wholesale wireless network operators, such as LightSquared or what Clearwire hoped to be, is broken. But in the coming year, a new and ultimately more successful model is poised to emerge, one that will transform the entire communications landscape as we know it, and pit Verizon and cable TV on one side against AT&T and satellite TV on the other. http://gigaom.com/broadband/farrar-telecom-wholesale-network/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, here are something to share with you guys: http://vator.tv/news/2012-01-04-netflixs-20m-members-streamed-2b-hours-in-2011-q4 "As Netflix continues to wrangle the conversation on its future, the video viewing and rental company announced that more than two billion hours of content was viewed from its site in the fourth quarter of 2011." As for Roku, we have this news: http://allthingsd.com/20120104/roku-to-launch-cordless-streaming-stick-for-smart-tvs/ "The connected TV category is forecast to grow at a 30 percent compound annual rate between now and 2014 — up to more than 123 million shipments, according to a report from DisplaySearch earlier this year. The report also predicts continued complexity in the market, with a variety of streaming video services available to consumers, and tech giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft — in addition to smaller companies like Roku and Boxee — offering boxes for streaming Internet media."

Guest ValueCarl Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Level (3) has built The Matrix for their 1000 person strong selling army, one which will use an IPAD to point at an "ENTERPRISE BUILDING" in any community, letting them know the building CONTENTS as though they grew up there, enabling them to SELL, SELL, SELL, like NEVER in the HISTORY of the TELECOM now converted to INTERNET WORLD.

Guest ValueCarl Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 How the digital divide has progressed in ten short years as a result of forward thinkers in The city of Danville, located on the banks of the Dan River in the Southside region of Virginia. http://www.bbpmag.com/MuniPortal/EditorsChoice/1111editorschoice.php THE TURNAROUND In just a decade, Danville has gone from having the highest unemployment in the state of Virginia (19 percent at its peak) to attracting national attention as an excellent small city with a low cost of living, world-class technology infrastructure, revitalized downtown livework spaces and a workforce trained to meet the needs of today’s high-tech businesses. ----As nDanville grew to connect more than 150 businesses, the economy began to rebound as well. The most visible results of the network are the new companies and jobs that have come to Danville in the past two years, capping 10 years of planning, investment and collaboration. The reuse and renovation of the White Mill Building and the new workers that it will bring is expected to have a dramatic effect on downtown businesses. The availability of nDanville fiber at the location was the deal maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Graham Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 3. Jim Crowe: We’re a company that’s going to be generating a significant amount of cash. Today, the combined operation has “about $37 billion invested in our global network”, he says. “That’s the original investment in the two companies and the acquired companies.” It seems LVLT is always a company that 'will' be generating significant amounts of cash.

Ben Graham Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The Berkshire Hathaway - DirecTV & Level 3 Communications Connection all started from 1999. "I'll report - You decide" Mr. Combs spent about US$1.24-billion accumulating positions in seven companies in first three quarters of 2011, according to the data from filings distributed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The holdings of CVS, Intel, Dollar General, MasterCard, Visa Inc., General Dynamics Corp. and DirecTV were valued at about US$1.41-billion at year-end. DirecTV, the largest U.S. satellite-TV provider, was one of Mr. Weschler’s stock picks at his Charlottesville, Virginia-based, Peninsula Capital Advisors LLC. Berkshire said in September it was hiring Weschler, a marathoner who also invested in W.R. Grace & Co. and made a gain trading Bank of America Corp. shares. “I found it fascinating that Todd Combs purchased DirecTV,” said MR. Kass. “It sort of implies that Todd Combs is in agreement with Ted Weschler” on the stock, he said. http://business.financialpost.com/2012/01/10/buffetts-apprentice-makes-strong-debut/ ****************************************************************************** "Oldies But Goodies" - DirecTV & LVLT Level 3 Network Services Will Support Delivery of HDTV-Digital Channels in Local Markets Nationwide via DIRECTV BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Level 3 Communications (Nasdaq: LVLT), a leading provider of broadband network services, today announced that it has been selected by DIRECTV, Inc., to help provide the nationwide backbone solution, consisting of bandwidth and data center services, that will enable the expansion of DIRECTV's High Definition Television (HDTV) services. Under the agreement, Level 3 will upgrade and augment the DIRECTV backbone to support and aggregate HDTV signals from local markets for rebroadcast to DIRECTV customers. Level 3 has worked with DIRECTV since 1999 and currently provides a substantial portion of DIRECTV's existing private line backbone that supports its standard definition television (SDTV) services. DIRECTV, the nation's leading digital television service provider, will roll out hundreds of local and national HDTV channels over the next few years. Level 3's high-speed nationwide long-haul and metro private line backbone, wavelength services and reliable colocation facilities in key markets will provide the physical-layer redundancy, low latency, and scalability to support DIRECTV's aggressive expansion plans. "Level 3 offers the network diversity and scalability, responsiveness and comprehensive service suite that will accommodate our aggressive expansion plans," said Don Jones, vice president and general manager of DIRECTV's Castle Rock Broadcast Center in Colorado. "Collaborating with Level 3 to help design our HDTV network ensures that we will be able to offer our customers the highest quality HDTV services available." "DIRECTV has an ambitious timeline to complete its rollout of local HDTV, and Level 3 is in an excellent position to help make it happen," said Glenn Russo, senior vice president of network and Internet services for Level 3. "The momentum behind HDTV is accelerating and we look forward to building an infrastructure that supports the delivery of HDTV to consumers nationwide." DIRECTV has initially acquired Level 3 services to support HDTV in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. DIRECTV's market expansion plans include acquiring Level 3 network and colocation services in 15 additional cities.

Guest ValueCarl Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 If Howard Hughes were alive today, Ben Graham, he would have been describing "broadband" like I have been for more than a decade in order to RHYME with his name, that being, "It's the wave of the future, it's the wave of the future, it's the wave of the future!" Fortunately for us, our "factory margins" are superior so that when our revenues accelerate, we will not resemble the abysmal results of Howard's "commercial airline" dreams. With this in mind, "The Wave of the Future" is here today, so "BRING IT ON" starting February 8th without further delay! "We don't sell COTTON CANDY," you know! I do have a question for you this morning, however. What are the odds that this new Buffett fund mgr., Todd Combs, has EXITED STAGE LEFT from that criminal cabal of INTERNET FREE LOADERS aiding and abetting CONTENT PIRATES over at Cogent Communications(CCOI), the King of Pornography X the globe, which his holding had only come about "serendipity" in ADVANCE of the FBI RAID to ONE of its CORE CUSTOMERS? Certainly, The Buffett Factor tied to Walter Scott Jr. should have alerted him of what the ramifications might be for bedding down with those pack of WOLVES! >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Graham Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The odds are strongly in favor that Ted Weschler will not include Cogent Communications (CCOI) in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, like he did in his Hedge Fund : http://www.bullfax.com/?q=node-what-berkshires-new-manager-ted-weschler-holds-his-hedg If Ted is the value investor who knows how to spot a bargain, that we think he is, Walter Scott doesn't need to say a word. Level 3 is written all over the Berkshire headquarters - Kiewit Plaza in Omaha, U.S.A. Walter Scott Jr. built Level 3 so, Todd Combs & Ted Weschler can allocate all the future free cash flows that O. Mason Hawkins likes to talk about. It is also nice to see Prem Watsa have a desire to sit on RIMM's board to facilitate with the development & innovation of the device that has a screen to deliver LVLT content. We have the Buffett of the North taking care of the "device end" on this Great End to End Level 3 Network. Now, we just need the wireless guys to ramp 4G and learn how to allocate spectrum properly - efficiently. Then the content boys will come on board to satisfy all those hungry end user eyeballs. Like the up coming Super Bowl streamed live online. "This is The Wave of the Future" Howard Hughes was known to say LVLT pigs can fly! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ValueCarl Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thank you, Ben Graham. I see I was a little bit dyslexic in that it would have been TED talk and not TODD talk in entertaining that "serendipity" investment in Cogent Communications, now under the FBI's radar screen for investigation. http://www.ted.com/talks As soon as that right hand man and Cramer Connected Clown from San Diego, Herb Greenberg, was pumping Schaeffer's Cogent, I knew that my suspicions about EVIL LURKING all along were correct. http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000046145 Oh, speaking of that dubious operator who once found it appropriate to write "BULL" on an SEC subpoena, he's demanding "positive cash flow" before becoming a PIED PIPER like he was in 06/07 again.

Ben Graham Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Microsoft has a way to implement efficient allocation and use of spectrum for all mobile and wireless communication systems. Let's hope the Bells use Spark to light up their 4GLTE network, so Level 3 can deliver huge amounts of pent up bandwidth and start a wild fire explosion of live streaming video over the Internet. http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/101646/hotmobile06.pdf Microsoft Research Abstract With the increased demands for wireless spectrum, dynamic spectrum sharing is emerging as an important and powerful concept. Most research in this domain is being conducted in design of cognitive radios and on specific PHY and MAC layer challenges associated with them. However, for a dynamic spectrum sharing architecture to be viable, research is needed to resolve many other challenges, e.g., in the context of real-time spectrum management and enforcement. This paper is the first to present a study of some such important architectural considerations, driven by our ongoing design and implementation of a spectrum sharing system, called Spark. We propose some promising approaches to address these challenges, and enumerate the need and opportunities for significant future research in this domain.
