Voom to become WINVOOM ?
Let me preface this by saying DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP:
From an internal Microsoft memo (forgive the cryptic paraphrasing - I promised anonymity):
The Good News:
* There is a lot of Voom discussion recently at Microsoft.
* Discussion centers around a "new" company referred to as {WINVOOM} .. (((brackets are theirs, not mine - and are always there)))
The Few Available Details:
* "Proposed {WINVOOM} Board"
- Blair Westlake
- Robert Bach
- John Malone
- Steve Ballmer
- Charles Dolan
- Thomas Dolan
- Moshe Lichtman
- Charles Noski
- Frank Biondi
* A very brief, vague reference to an Xbox tie-in of some sort.
The Bad News:
Apparently things are in a holding pattern waiting for two things
* The Dolans must secure the rights to all Rainbow programming.
* Cablevision must cancel the sale of Rainbow 1 to E*
