Time Warner

Media conglomerate Viacom on Thursday filed a lawsuit in Manhattan to stop Cablevision Systems from streaming its programs to the iPad tablet and other things that aren't televisions.

For the second time since launching two weeks ago on the App Store, Time Warner is scaling back the number of television channels it offers subscribers via an app for their Apple iPad tablets.

Comcast and Time Warner Cable have joined the throng of network vendors that are participating in World IPv6 Day, a 24-hour trial of the next-generation Internet protocol scheduled for June 8.

You have to wonder how a guy who lets money from major corporations literally slip through his fingers was able to build the world's most valuable technology company. From CNN:

Time Warner will finally rid itself of AOL, its struggling Internet subsidiary, by spinning it off as a publicly traded company.

AOL's ad revenue again slipped dramatically in the first quarter, as Time Warner seeks to spin off the Internet unit.

Time Warner Cable's decision to back off from a usage-based pricing change for high-speed Internet subscribers in four cities demonstrates how politically fraught the governance of Internet access and pricing can be.

Congressman Eric Massa (D-NY) doesn't like the idea of Time Warner Cable charging extra for more bandwidth: "At a time when millions of Americans have lost their jobs and businesses are struggling, I am compelled to fight against additional, unnecessary burdens placed on my constituents."

AOL's revenue fell 23 percent in the fourth quarter, including a steep decline in ad sales, as the Time Warner online unit continues to post disappointing results.

Financial charges taken by both Intel and Time Warner Cable on Wednesday put the spotlight on the tough prospects for Clearwire, the company that aims to build a national mobile broadband network using WiMax technology.
