Ma Bell’s wake-up call: Deals among Net calling firms may sap big telcos’ revenue
Nov 10, 2009 Object
Filed under: Google , Research In Motion, Apple, AT&T, Verizon
Phones are ringing off the hook at businesses that facilitate making calls over the Internet. With the apparent resolution of the spinout of Net calls pioneer Skype several days ago has come frenzied dealmaking in the VoIP — short for voice over Internet protocol — space.
First, Google bought startup Gizmo5. Now, as TechCrunch reports, there is a bidding war ongoing for JahJah, a Skype-like service that offered low-cost calling to tens of millions of users of Yahoo’s (YHOO) instant messenger service. Numbers thrown around for the deal are a whopping $200 million to $400 million, a significant sum in the current environment.

Cell phone war! AT&T about-face on Web calls follows Verizon-Google pact
Filed under: Google , AT&T, Verizon
Just hours after Verizon Wireless (VZ) announced a major deal Tuesday to sell new phones equipped with Google’s (GOOG) Android mobile operating system, its arch-rival AT&T (T) said it would reverse its restrictions on voice-over-Internet calls. Apple iPhone users will now be able to use Internet-calling applications like Skype on AT&T’s data network, in addition to making calls using Wi-Fi networks.
AT&T’s move comes on the eve of the annual wireless industry conference amid a flurry of action in the mobile space. It represents a major reversal for the mobile giant, which is under Federal Communications Commission scrutiny for its role in Apple’s decision to restrict the Google Voice application from its app store.

Bankruptcy dilemma: Will the real Ellen Tracy please stand up!
Filed under: Apparel, Company News, Macy’s
Today, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York granted a petition against Ellen Tracy LLC for a Chapter 7 involuntary petition for bankruptcy. The petition was filed by three creditors seeking nearly $4 million in claims. The creditors were manufacturers of Ellen Tracy products.
The confusing thing, however, is that the entity being forced into bankruptcy, Ellen Tracy LLC, is a former licensee of the Ellen Tracy name which ceased its operations some time ago. It has nothing to do with the brand anymore. Brand Matter LLC, on the other hand, is the entity that owns, manages, markets and licenses the intellectual property of Ellen Tracy.
Guess there’s a lesson to be learned here: Never let a licensee use your brand’s name in the name of its legal partnership.

Wll eBay’s new investors escape the Kazaa curse?
Sep 1, 2009 Object
Filed under: Technology
The real question that I haven’t seen answered in any of the articles relating to the partial acquisition of Skype from eBay (EBAY) by a team of private investors is, who will own the underlying IP that runs the Skype P2P communications network? That question must somehow have been answered if savvy investors such as Silver Lake Partners and Netscape founder Marc Andreesen’s investment fund, felt comfortable forking over $1.9 billion to eBay. And as TechCrunch’s Mike Arrington points out, eBay did okay on this deal, emerging with a paper gain and still some share of any potential upside.
Under the covers, question still lurk, The two controversial Skype founders, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, are embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with eBay, which originally purchased the company from the duo for $2.6 billion. Friis and Zennstrom, who once avoided U.S. soil to avoid litigation with the recording industry, claim that eBay does not own the software the powers the Skype network. Rather, they say that the software IP is merely licensed to eBay by Joltid, an entity the duo still controls. eBay’s CEO John Donohoe said today that the new Skype deal does not resolve the legal dispute, according to Dow Jones.

Geron’s first-mover disadvantage: first-ever human stem cell study held up
Sep 1, 2009 Object
It’s not easy being first. Biotech company Geron (GERN) had to wait more than a year before getting the green light from federal regulators in January to begin the first study using human embryonic stem cell-based therapies in humans. The early-stage trial is looking at the safety of its drug GRNOPC1, which is designed to treat patients with spinal cord injuries.
Now the company, which is in the spotlight because of the groundbreaking nature of the treatment, has hit another speed bump after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration put the study on hold in August. The reason? Animals injected with the experimental drug candidate developed microscopic cysts.

Google mail fail bodes poorly for paid Google apps
Filed under: Google , Microsoft
Memo to the Gmail team at the Googleplex: even “free” has a price. When Gmail suffered a widespread outage on Tuesday, around 3 p.m. EST, Twitter lit up with reports of the outage, and a number of big news sites immediately posted word of the shutdown. I personally spent two hours thrashing about, trying to retrieve a few key e-mails out of my Gmail. (I have AOL accounts, too.). If I were a paying Gmail customer, I’d be hopping mad.
I just wonder what the folks down in Los Angeles County are thinking right now. They had recently decided to switch over to a suite of Google apps. (Note to Redmond: can you say “marketing opportunity”?) With wildfires raging all over the Los Angeles area and critical decisions being made at a rapid clip, loss of e-mail would be more than an annoyance. (Granted, it’s only a loss in the browser, but that’s where most people use Gmail.) And it’s entirely possible that L.A. did lose some or all of its Google (GOOG) e-mail capabilities.
