Squawk Box October 24: Vonage, Cox, AT&T, and Open Source DRM

by alec on October 24, 2008

For our final daily SquawkBox, we discussed these stories:

Reports are emerging that AT&T is developing an iPhone tethering plan, but network glitches are holding it up!
Marlin, a digital rights technology created by Sony and Samsung, is apparently ready for prime time. An open source solution, it claims to solve the problems with DRM solutions from Microsoft and Apple. Have they solved the biggest problem, the fact that consumers hate DRM?
Vonage dodges the bullet, and refinances their $253 million in convertible debt six weeks ahead of the December 16th due date.
And Cox Communications… raises their VoIP pricing!

James Body also gave a short recap of the Symbian Show this week in London, and we had a discussion about the future of SquawkBox. More on that later.

On today’s Calliflower Conference Call: Dan York, James Body, Jonathan Jensen, Jeanette Fisher, Jim Courtney, and Sheryl Breuker.

Squawk Box June 25

June 25, 2008

Last night I asked Jim Courtney if he would stand in for me on SquawkBox today, and he kindly did, picking Nokia’s establishment of the Symbian Foundation as a topic, and also talking about the delays on Google Android.
