Steve, I like the premise of this board - who needs the Wall Street analysts. That said, I would like you to look at a company I am currently in for the long haul - IATV. It seems to me that the internet and television are about to converge in the digital age. General Instrument will debut its DCT 5000 set top box this summer and ACTV technology has been selected to be included. They will also provide software for Scientific Atlanta's digital boxes. In September this company formed a joint venture with Liberty Media Corp. When AT&T completes its merger with TCI John Malone will still be in control of Liberty, along with a cash infusion of 5 billion dollars. Meanwhile, Lee Masters has just joined as head of Liberty Interactive(the Joint Venture), coming from his success at the Entertainment Network. If you are not familiar with IATV you can check them out at their home page actv.com
The company has an impressive list of partners (GI, SFA, Sun Microsystems, Liberty/TCI, the Washington Post). I believe the coming of digital TV will equal the excitement and growth of the internet and converge the two. IATV has some nice patents involving streaming video which will make it happen. Feel free to join in any discussion over at the new IATV thread: techstocks.com
