After 7+ years of going it alone, I have taken the full plunge back into the Silicon Valley start-up culture by joining a company that is in stealth mode. Over time, I will be able to reveal more details. It is in the broadband television space, but its model is so unique that it really is creating a new space in the world of television.
One of the things that attracted me to this company was that they saw the value in the Viodi View and ViodiTV in helping to inform, connect and, hopefully, occasionally entertain the independent telco industry concerning the topic of video services. Thanks to the foundation this company brings, our plan is to enhance our coverage of industry events and provide increased value to the telco trade associations and their members. This relationship should give us a new channel for distributing the Viodi View and ViodiTV.
The plan is to continue as well as expand the coverage of independent telco tradeshows. Editorial control will still be by the individual authors. Our posts will still be a function of what we feel like writing at any given time and will cover what we think is relevant to independent telcos and their efforts to offer video.
Roger Bindl and/or partners, depending upon the specifics of a particular opportunity, will handle the Viodi business efforts. I will forward article opportunities, which may present potential conflicts of interest (although I don’t think there will be many), to Roger Bindl. That is it for now. Please continue to read/view the Viodi View and ViodiTV and I will provide updates as appropriate.
