Hal, Another find, Cuban explains what he means by "DISTRIBUTION". ipmulticast.com In other words he has a lot of servers with limited storage space and I suppose a lot of clutter and cables. Ampex could streamline the archived lesser used files shared by all servers with the DST. Micronet can supply raids for the more used and latest used files. But what about all of those servers? Could Micronet or Ampex develop a server device along the same principle of the RAID? That is one box full of PC (not politically correct) cards and ethernet cards. They could be set up to transfer service if they have problems (less site down time). Maybe Ampex is working on this?

This post is a gem, Hal. Some issues: 1) Are we headed toward an ITVU model with AXC's corporate production/distribution inititative? (Note: GE/NBC is a minority investor in ITVU.) For those who aren't clear, ITVU is a Webcasting solutions house, or "enabler." It provides Net TV facilities and services and effects broadcasting transparently, in the names of its clients and from their own Web sites. It does not control content or run a BCST-like network. intervu.com 2) Are we likely to announce such strategic alliances before Fall? That seems like forever on Internet time. Hopefully, some announcements can be made at the time of AXC's late-June Webcast. Think one of the major questions for AXC management is to ask for an articulation of its corporate production/distribution strategy. Commencing with the announcement in Ed B.'s shareholder letter, all references thus far present a vague picture of what this initiative really means. BAM
