Wherever whores go.....
The craziness in all this, is if Comcast & Time Warner want to go to market with a competitor, don't they still have to go thru Motorola for the set-top boxes and Google for the tablet/remote controller?

I have Comcast and my cable boxes are made by Motorola.

GSDG, got money coming in both ways with this situation. :youngsabo:

Scientific Atlantic and Samsung also make boxes for Cable companies

Motorola Mobility has been operating at a loss for a while now. It was $233Mln in the red last quarter. $41Mln loss from the home sector. Google isn't making money from the set-top boxes. They'd prefer to sell that arm of Motorola.

How exactly do you know what google wants to do with that part of motorola or motorola as a whole? You are doing alot of assuming. Motorola may be losing money now but five years from now with google's reach and focus they can return to profitability.

You're right, Time Warner uses Scientific Atlantic, dont they? But I'm pretty sure Motorola has decent market share.

Are there any takers though? If they're going into the fiber/cable tv business, wouldn't they want to keep Motorola Mobility? Or at least some of it. Actually, Google is perfectly capable of figuring out their set top box solutions. They still need those patents though.

You sure are being anal about something so insignificant.

Microsoft
29.47 +0.31‎ (1.06%‎)
Open: 29.48
High: 29.57
Low: 29.18

Mkt Cap: 246.87B


Google

GOOG‎ - Google Inc (NASDAQ)‎

624.50 +11.14‎ (1.82%‎)
Open: 618.89
High: 625.00
Low: 617.50

Mkt Cap: 204.30B


Microsoft has a market cap of 246 billion and trades at $29. Google has a market cap of 204 billion and trades at above $600. Google and Microsoft are much closer than you think.

Edit: I don't know where you got your numbers but these are google and microsoft's most recent financial numbers.

Google's TV package includes almost every channel you would want, with one notable exception: ESPN. As I've noted before, ESPN charges cable providers around five times more than the average network. Also absent from the list of available channels are TNT and HBO, both owned (along with TIME and CNN -- full disclosure) by Time Warner

I knew it was too good to be true..:snoop:

This shyt will not pop off without TNT, HBO and ESPN..

fukkin ESPN is the Gambino Crime family of networks extortin cable companies and shyt..
