Netflix is an aggregator. Disney is a hybrid producer/aggregator. Distributors pay for content because they need something to distribute. Aggregators... mendyk, 6/14/2018 12:20:02 PM Comcast's Bid for Content, Growth & Whatever Comes Next Re: Re: of growth & whatever Agree -- this comes back to the question of which is more valuable -- content or the distribution channel for content. Phil Harvey, 6/14/2018 12:04:32 PM Comcast's Bid for Content, Growth & Whatever Comes Next Re: Re: of growth & whatever Also, I wonder about the idea that content growth is linear, which they seem to be saying for the sake of Wall Street.

The case can be made that companies that get aggressive about acquisitions... mendyk, 6/14/2018 8:46:04 AM AT&T Wins Big, Gets Bigger: Judge Approves AT&T-Time Warner Merger Re: Re: Giant steps Now THAT'S sarcasm, right? brooks7, 6/13/2018 11:32:24 PM AT&T Wins Big, Gets Bigger: Judge Approves AT&T-Time Warner Merger Re: Re: Giant steps Content has owned distribution for 3,000 years.

My guess... brooks7, 6/13/2018 1:02:27 PM AT&T Wins Big, Gets Bigger: Judge Approves AT&T-Time Warner Merger Re: Re: Giant steps I guess you missed my sarcasm. Buying Charter, Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, and CenturyLink altogether ends up being less than a 10% of Worldwide market share.

But what about TMob/Sprint when those two come together? brooks7, 6/13/2018 10:18:20 AM AT&T Wins Big, Gets Bigger: Judge Approves AT&T-Time Warner Merger Re: Re: Giant steps So, the question would be what part to buy right.

Sigma Systems' Guide to Transformation

A CSP's digital transformation involves so much more than technology. Crucial – and often most challenging – is the cultural transformation that goes along with it. As Sigma's Chief Technology Officer, Catherine Michel has extensive experience with technology as she leads the company's entire product portfolio and strategy. But she's also no stranger to merging technology and culture, having taken a company — Tribold — from inception to acquisition (by Sigma in 2013), and she continues to advise service providers on how to drive their own transformations. This impressive female leader and vocal advocate for other women in the industry will join Women in Comms for a live radio show to discuss all things digital transformation, including the cultural transformation that goes along with it.
