Future Of Online Video- A Mark Cuban Point Of View
Written by Pablo Palatnik on May 16, 2007
If theres one guy I admire, It’s Mark Cuban. Owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Co-Founder of HDNet. In 1995 Cuban founded Audionet, which boradcasted live games and events over the internet. Yahoo! aquired Cuban’s company giving him $5.04 BILLION in stock. Cuban was also an investor in Weblogs Inc., which was aquired by AOL.
To me, this guy is one of those people that can not only see the future, but helps build it. His vision is one many in Business pay attention to because he’s got a good proven track record. His reputation proceeds him as a “bad-boy” as owner of his NBA team, the Dallas Mavericks. When it comes down to business, Cuban is one in a million.
Cuban spoke at the Congressional Future Of Video Hearing. Thought everyone should give it a listen…see what you think.
Cuban gets a little technical with the argument on current bandwidth situations. He also talks about the evolvement of the internet becoming web 2.0 mentioing Myspace, Facebook, Digg, etc, “not technological breakthroughs, advanced programming”. He finishes, “reality is, technology improves where theres great opportunity, …where its happening is in aquisition devices for digital video.”
