Re: Charter DVR Charter's signed a partnership with TiVo, so it wouldn't make sense to sue them. I'm sure that TiVo gave both phone companies plenty of opportunities to negotiate their way out of this, but they just didn't want to pay. The real question now is what does this mean to the Dish litigation. TiVo would be stupid to settle since they need the patent reinforced to really nail the phone companies. Plus if they don't settle and force Dish to turn off millions of DVR, AT&T and Sprint will watch in horror as they see what one little company can do to a giant. The longer they drag this out, the higher the price goes up. If I was Sprint or AT&T, I would sign the partnership before TiVo finishes Dish. Losing access to your DVR just isn't worth the couple hundred million it would ultimately cost in licensing. | |
