HE'S BACK! TELECOM - GET READY FOR JOHN MALONE
If John Malone (Liberty Media) obtains control of
DirecTV he will rapidly escalate and change the Video-Voice Wars now
raging between cable, the telcos and satellite broadcasters.
“Malone has long had a powerful interest in U.S. telecom and will
become the key catalyst in an extensive set of moves that involve
all of the parties to the Video-Voice Wars,” states Victor Schnee,
President of Boschulte Schnee Group. LLC.
“He’ll undoubtedly deal with DTV’s entry into broadband and beyond
that BSG expects Malone to consider broader entry into telecom,” he
added. “The implications would be felt by everyone including: the SuperBOCs, AT&T, Verizon, cable, including foremost Comcast;
wireless; broadband wireless; and even major content and Internet
players (search, portals, commerce.)”
