Altitude TV and Comcast have settled a nearly four-year-old lawsuit, but the two sides remain at an impasse that will continue to keep Avalanche and Nuggets games blacked out in Colorado. The two sides announced the settlement Friday afternoon in a joint statement , while also acknowledging it did not include an agreement to bring Altitude TV back to Comcast’s platforms. “Comcast and Altitude remain willing to discuss potential future business and distribution arrangements,” the statement read.

The two parties entered into mediation last summer but were unable to reach a settlement until this week. Representatives for Altitude TV, owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, declined to comment when contacted by The Post late Friday.

Sky Cable acquisition to boost PLDT’s broadband footprint
MANILA, Philippines – PLDT Inc. is expected to have bigger market share—and a “comfortable lead” over its competitors—in the broadband space following the acquisition of Sky Cable Corp. for P6.75 billion, according to Fitch Group unit CreditSights. The credit watcher, in a recent report, noted that the Pangilinan-led telco player could increase its market share by 2 to 3 percent to 47 to 48 percent, cementing its lead in the industry. The acquisition widened the gap with its peers Globe Telecom Inc. and Converge ICT Solutions Inc., which account for 31 percent and 21 percent of the market, CreditSights said. Less than 1 percent was occupied by small players. The deal is also seen to grow PLDT’s broadband subscriber base by 9 percent with the entry of around 350,000 Sky customers. “We think the acquisition represents a logical strategic addition to PLDT’s dominant cash-generative broadband business,” CreditSights said. Earnings positive The transaction, in addition, is … [Read more...] about Sky Cable acquisition to boost PLDT’s broadband footprint

Phuket Live Wire: Don’t get mugged by your mates
PHUKET: I have been holding off writing about more email scams, waiting so I can write about nailing somebody and getting them thrown in jail. So far, no luck. But in the past week I’ve received two messages from people I know, here in Phuket, who have had their email accounts hijacked. That’s quite a coincidence – if it is a coincidence – so I figured I better warn you about the “mugging” scams. Like the ‘419 scams’ I wrote about in April, these are also considered “Nigerian” scams, even if the perpetrator is living in Los Angeles or London. It’s been estimated that email scams are the third largest industry in Nigeria – no, that’s not a joke – with an estimated take of US$100,000 a day just from American victims. Here is an example of messages I received, supposedly from Phuket residents , last week: Sorry I didn’t inform you about my trip to Spain for a Program, Unfortunately for me all my money along with my bag where my passport and valuable things were got stolen at … [Read more...] about Phuket Live Wire: Don’t get mugged by your mates

For Steve Ballmer, Building An NBA Champion Is Harder Than Running Microsoft But More Fun
The tenth-richest person on the planet — and one of the loudest when he was Microsoft CEO — is building a luxurious $2 billion arena for the Los Angeles Clippers and plans a calm, non-shrieking celebration if his team wins an NBA championship there. By Jabari Young, Forbes Staff S teve Ballmer has a decision to make. The $80 billion man, owner of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and former CEO of Microsoft, where he’s still the biggest individual shareholder, is building a privately funded $2 billion arena in Inglewood, California. Ballmer will finally be his own landlord, he’ll expand his revenue sources, he’ll get out from under the Lakers — his more popular and more successful co-tenants in downtown L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena — and he’ll be able to better pamper his players who, after eight-plus seasons of his generous stewardship, have yet to get within smelling distance of a championship. The Intuit Dome, expected to be ready next year, is rising across the … [Read more...] about For Steve Ballmer, Building An NBA Champion Is Harder Than Running Microsoft But More Fun
