For some reason I can't get enough of this guy David Bank. I guess it's kinda like looking at a car wreck . . . you know you shouldn't look but you just can't help it.
Here he is once again with Erin Burnett . . . and once again touting Viacom . . . what is it with this guy and Viacom?
It's like he has a one-track mind. Here he is . . . the Enigma himself . . . David Bank

Clear Channel Chairman of Media & Entertainment Platforms Robert Pittman spoke at Advertising Age's Digital Conference on Thursday, calling digital streaming the biggest opportunity for the radio industry today. "We have work to do. We actually have to make the digital revolution come to radio," Pittman said, according to Ad Age. "This allows us to get in front of it, not let it happen to us but let it drive us. There are real benefits to the radio business and to our listeners."
Pandora states they don't expect profits through at least 2012, but Spencer knows better than them

Great Moments in Business Journalism VXIII -- Pandora version
Wow, when business journalists write about a topic you know about, you can see how wrong they often are… and thus get worried about what you read on every other topic!
The Pandora IPO story over the weekend was a great example. Some well-known, well-respected publications made the following mistakes:
One top business magazine wrote about Pandora’s “$100 million in profits last year,” because they confusing “revenues” with “profits,” which are actually two different things. (They even got a “confirmation” from Pandora’s Tim Westergren, who only acknowledged that “Things are moving in the right direction,” which they took as a confirmation!)
A major publication wrote about Pandora’s “$100 million valuation,” confusing the amount that the IPO is trying to raise ($100 million) with Pandora’s valuation (not stated explicitly, but probably closer to $1 billion).
A top computer magazine took the fact that Pandora has a majority of the listening among Ando Media’s top 20 webcasters and garbled it into a headline saying that Pandora has a majority of the radio listening in America’s top 20 markets.
And so forth.
As the Boomtown Rats once said, “Don’t Believe What You Read!”
I can't remember who, but I think there was this angry internet-radio-blogger-dude who recently said that "Pandora had already shifted to a subscription model" and would soon gain "50% of their revenue from subscriptions" . . . damn, can't remember who it was that said it but it was on one of those satrad websites . . some guy who's always running around touting internet radio.

It would be nice for Spencer to explain these 2 quotesQuote:

House Republicans, adamant that the government keep its hands off the Internet, passed a bill yesterday to repeal federal rules barring Internet service providers from blocking or setting different prices for some uses of their networks.
Republicans, in voting to repeal rules on "network neutrality" set down by the Federal Communications Commission, said the FCC lacked the authority to promulgate the rules. They disputed the need to interfere with an already open Internet and warned that the rules would stifle investment in broadband systems.

Note to Lloyd: Although I realize this is a partisan issue, this is meant to be a totally nonpartisan post on my part; I am posting it merely because it is a story that Tyler Savery will attempt to ignore . . . sort of an inconvenient truth for Tyler.
btw folks, while visiting the forums, don't forget to check-out the "Stop Trading" thread . . . I think Tyler needs "some of that" to snap him out of his funk . . . ya see what I'm saying?

Everything should be back up and running. If you guys see any issues, please let me know.
I apologize for the downtime. Thank you for your patience.
Anyone noticing any speed issues? Everything seem status quo? better? worse?
I believe there is more to this than your post indicates. The major ISPs want to create a 'tiered' system for the internet; certain users would pay more. That is NOT net neutrality. The FCC is being opposed because organizations like EFF don't want them regulating in a certain way - against the concerns of the public; politicians that vote against the FCC may have other 'interests'.

When the forum page is accessed it does not always show who is on (members) and how many are viewing a particular thread.
This detail used to be seen even when one was not signed-in. I see it when I'm logged on (this time) but not otherwise.
Has this changed?
Typo fixed.Quote:
