Great post SH. And of course they'll put up the $86 mil. because Actv will be glad to use trhe cash and the stock price will be much higher than Liberty's option strike price. The stock will go up each time we have news of a Liberty exercise.

SH--I've enjoyed your posts. In fact, this referenced post may become an SI classic. Anyway, can you expand on this part of your message? Does this mean that "server farms" will not be needed for HyperTV applications? "I say this because most of these companies who want to provide interactive programming content, like Discovery, Fox Sports Net and TV Guide Interactive will want to make sure that their respective programming efforts will not be interrupted due server availability issues like the Fiesta Bowl or the Victoria Secrets venue. So considering this, it's within reason that a relationship with a state-of-the-art hosting facility who can meet the unique demands of sophisticated, multi-vendor, mission-critical Internet operations is on the horizon."
