AT&T - TCI merger plays on Ampex's strategy of being the worlds leading source for high quality digital image processing.
The merger is a good play on Ampex's technology (the aquisition, processing and storage of digital image data) because of the massive amounts of information "tansported, warehoused and delivered".
Bransom mentioned that in order for sales of DST to increase the bandwidth would have to open up (AT&T is one). And, AT&T is Ampex's customer. Couple that fact with all the Fortune 500 companies who have to be on the Internet (if they want to stay in business) advertising products and service with (high quality) full motion video and AUDIO.
Next, the "last mile" in the Internet, DTV and digital broadcast delivery is a great opportunity for Ampex (patents) technology (the aquisition, processing and storage of digital image ((and AUDIO)) data) for consumers. There are many opportunities in this consumer mult-BILLION market. Ampex has said it wants to be in the high volume consumer market with ? thier patents or a product. This is not a leap of faith by Swamp Fox, I remember some where in the 10 Q or K manufacturers are using our patents in DVD, joysticks, computer animation games...
The DIGITAL REVOLUTION is happening. It is one major driving force behind tremendous economic growth. It is empowering, freeing and wealth generating.
Maybe Gus, Jubimer, Hal, someone can add to this....
