Jim and Amir in studio.... (back from Team Summit.. and "what a Summit it was"
Jim: "We got a lot to cover and we have a special guest today" .. but for now they are showing brief Highlights from Team Summit
..And here is "special guest" - it's Charlie!!!!
Charlie - "it was a good Summit...
- we accomplished a lot in the last 25 years..
- but in the next 5 years we will accomplish a lot - as much as in previous 25 years.. - broadband, etc etc.. complete upgrade needed (Mpeg 2 to Mpeg 4)... there are 25 million receivers out there that will need to be upgraded to Mpeg 4.. will become additional capacity for HD, etc...
- Never have seen so much opportunity as now...
Jim: "speaking of opportunity - is the addition of Voom programming to our line up"
Charlie - "we will be Leaders in HD.. - we added 10 chanels:
DISH "VOOMS" INTO HD:
VOOM
- Phase 1:
-- Launch Best of Voom, 10 HD Original channels
- Phase 2:
-- No later then Q1 2006
-- Launch 11 incremental VOOM channels
- Total: 21 VOOM HD Originals
...
VOOM Original - Phase 1:
- Get Voom Originals for $5 /month
- Channels 9470 - 9482
Note: under the HD Pak 6 month promotion customer will pay the additional $5/month - 6 months free does not include VOOM Originals. 6 months free ends 7/31/2005
Then will be Phase 2 (no precise details)
Charlie is saying "Lots of HD to add in the future.." (i will not list the few he mentioned as example.. just some names.. or ideas.. vague stuff)...
Charlie is saying "will add HD locals too in future.. We are ready to go - but MPEG 4 upgrade is needed first" .. "Mpeg 4 - late this fall".. "mass quantities will be available in 2006.. and then when we can do massive amounts of HD"
"at the same time - the HD TVs are coming down in prices.. we noticed when we went to VOOM homes, some people had several HD TVs in different rooms.. So when you get an HD Set.. - more likely you d want another one soon"
..........................................................................................................................................
Thats all for now - Gotto go now!
Will try and finish this recap sometime later.. (when exactly not sure - as i haven't watched the whole thing yet..and it's longer then usual today)
