Thanks especially to the research of Brian, Lee, Chris from May 8 and each other fine Ampexologist #1 here on SI, I am certain that we have the finest discussion thread, bar none on any SI forum.

From E. Bramson's same letter: ".... this [letter] does not lend itself to a detailed discussion of such a complex topic, but we will be making announcements as our plans unfold. We are thinking of additional ways to communicate with you possibly including the use of the world wide web, and I also intend to update you personally on our status later in the year."

Hopefully, as Ampex morphs, the HQ information flow will keep pace appropriately.

I do like the idea of newly acquired funds going to parent Ampex instead of spinoff IPO's. The management talent being assembled seems to be directed at a much higher corporate structure then being dedicated to subsidiary operations. I could see a Ampex Internet media conglomerate headquartered in NY, staffed by talented, creative new media leaders. In turn, a worldwide network of narrowcasting service companies and affiliates taking advice and support from parent Ampex. In this context, remember, we Ampexologists still have to come to terms with meaning of Dave Gardy's description of Ampex using the phrase - "juggernaut".

Am-pex-ol-o-gist.

Think you're looking for me, Ed.

Start with this speculative post. You can then refer to the search results (second link) to follow the recent chronology. When you now talk about GNET, you're talking about Paul Allen as well.
