Is Paul Allen God? ;-)

Paul Allen invests in a lot of development-stage businesses.

I remember he bought a major stake into SHMN.
However, three months later SHMN was delisted. It is now a penny
stock.

Allen is also backing MCOM, and MCOM bleeds money as a slaughtered
pig.

The backing of Malone vs. the support of Allen should be an
interesting match.
I still keep in mind that Malone is a pundit in the industry WGAT
and IATV are targeting. From that standpoint, Malone certainly is a
better partner.

WGAT collaborates with Charter Communications which has 1.2 M subscribers while ATHM has struck deals with cable companies which have 65 M subscribers. Questions:

1. How does WGAT grow beyond Charter?

2. Doesn't ATHM agreements limit the field for WGAT in terms of expanding to major cable companies?

Comments welcome. Thanks,

Gary
