AT&T
Forced To Buy Verizon
WiTEL
$2.3 Billion Dollars.
NBS WiTel announced
during the Hollywood Digital that AT&T
was being forced to purchase Verizon WiTEL
assets, because Verizon's Alltel phone
system was incompatible with the
at&t's WiTEL network.
On May 9th 2009 the LATimes,
(Associated Press) confirmed the
$2.35-billion assignment deal -- that will
affect 1.5 million WiTEL subscribers in 79
franchises, in 18 states, including
California.
The areas are mainly within the
Verizon-Alltel, Sprint-Clearwire deal
completed and approved
by the FCC last year. Most
of the Alltel territories overlaped and
competed with Verizon's more well-known
faster WiMax187 connections. They also
include some Verizon territories and areas
covered by Rural Cellular, another carrier
that Verizon bought last year.
Troy Cory-Stubblefield of NBS
WiTEL, and ePublisher of TVInews, stated
to Yahools Lucas Mast during an interview
on May 6th, that, "it appears that Verizon
Wireless, one of NBS WiTEL potentials, was
forced to sell its NBS WiMax187,
to satisfy FCC
regulatory conditions of several WiTEL
deals Verizon made last year by and
between Alltel, and
Sprint-Clearwire."

YAHOO.
Because AT&T's network isn't
compatible with Alltel or Verizon phones,
the WiTEL© phone numbers would
have affected over 1.5 million WiTEL
subscribers. All would have needed new
phones to use the Dallas-based 2005
AT&T - SBC - Yahoo priorities.

The States with the 79 franchised
areas included in the deal are Alabama,
Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah,
Virginia and Wyoming.
The deal is expected to be finished
by the fourth quarter. Verizon Wireless is
a joint venture of Verizon Communications

If
you are planning to attend this year's
Digital Hollywood conference, taking
place May 4-7, 2009 in Santa Monica,
CA, I thought you might be interested
in setting up a meeting with Bob
Quicksilver, Chief Content Officer of
TidalTV (a new online video advertising
network) at the event.
As
we approach this year's Upfront, there is
a dynamic shift taking place &endash;
prominent marketers are re-evaluating (and
even cutting) their TV media spending at a
time when online video, a cost-effective
and highly-targeted advertising solution,
is taking off. CLICK

In
fact, eMarketer recently reported video is
the fastest-growing Internet advertising
medium, estimating that ad spending on
online video will hit $850 million in
2009, up 45% from last year.

Jimmy
Wales, Founder of Wikipedia to speak at
Hollywood Digital. Major marketers are
increasingly looking to incorporate online
video in the marketing mix, and
Reckitt-Benckiser just signed a major deal
with Tidal TV. With a
zero-waste guarantee, TidalTV offers
advertisers a unique marketing advantage,
allowing them to pay only for ads that
reach target audiences and demographics.
The network will revitalize the
online video paradigm by combining the
advantages of TV and digital advertising
to deliver superior targeting,
interactivity, measurement and
transparency.
In addition,
you might be interested in attending the

&endash; from content owner to middleware

Forbes
list. 2009 Top Ten Winners: to make Forbes
list.
No. 1: Microsoft's founder
Bill Gates lost $18 billion. His net
worth dived to $40 billion from $58
billion a year earlier. Despite decline he
reclaimed the title of worlds' richest
man, because two other billionaires lost
more, on paper, than Gates did.
No. 2: Warren Buffett, last
year's No. 1, saw his fortune decline
$25 billion as shares of Berkshire
Hathaway fell nearly 50% in 12 months, but
he still managed to slip just one spot to
No. 2. His net worth plunged to $37
billion from $62 billion.
No. 3: Carlos Slim Helú -
Mexican business magnate and telecom
titan also lost $25 billion and dropped
one spot to No. 3, with a wealth of $35
billion down from $60 billion.
No. 4: Lawrence Ellison, U.S. software
giant Oracle Corp., $22.5 billion
No. 5: Ingvar Kamprad, Swedish retailer
IKEA, $22 billion
No. 6: Karl Albrecht, German supermarket
giant Aldi, $21 billion
No. 7: Mukesh Ambani, Indian
petrochemicals, $19.5 billion.
No. 9: Theo Albrecht, German supermarket
giant Aldi and the Monrovia-based Trader
Joe's chain in the U.S., $18.8 billion
No. 10: Amancio Ortega, Spanish retailing
$18.3 billion.
In 2009 -- There were just 793 people
rich enough to make Forbes list.
The richest
people in the world have endured a
financial disaster over the past years and
gotten poorer, just like the rest of us.
The meltdown of global financial markets
slashed the ranks of the world's
billionaires by 30% in 2008, Forbes
magazine reports in its annual list of the
planet's richest people. "The world has
become a wealth wasteland," Forbes states
in the billionaire report on its website.
" This year the world's billionaires have
an average net worth of $3 billion, down
23% in 12 months.
The biggest loser
in the world this year, by dollars, was
last year's biggest gainer. India's Anil
Ambani lost $32 billion--76% of his
fortune--as shares of his Reliance
Communications, Reliance Power and
Reliance Capital all collapsed.
Ambani is one of 24
Indian billionaires, all but one of whom
are poorer than a year ago. Another 29
Indians lost their billionaire status
entirely as India's stock market tumbled
44% in the past year and the Indian rupee
depreciated 18% against the dollar. It is
no longer the top spot in Asia for
billionaires, ceding that title to China,
which has 28.
Overall, the number
of the world's billionaires fell to 793
from 1,125 a year ago. Their collective
net worth: $2.4 million, a drop of $2
trillion.
However, there's
good news, of sorts, for the U.S.:
"Americans account for 44% of the money
and 45% of the list's slots," according to
Forbes.
After Gates, Buffet, Slim, etc., here's

CEO seeks revamp of U.S. wireless

NBS
WiTEL®© Chief Executive
Troy Cory-Stubblefield is promising its
affiliates the WiTEL®©
goods, products, and services they will
need to expand their mobile customer base
with USB plug-in devices, such as Magic
Jack.
Despite the
downturn in the global mobile consumer
market, and the lack of cooperation
between each Telco in the business,
collections of revenue for the use of its
service marks royalties from its major
Telco users, has increased the
possibilities of a merger.
Troy
said Wednesday that the organization not
only will survive the slow down, but it
will thrive during the rest of the
downturn, offering its new
WiTEL®©
Quality Control Authority, to stem out
infringers of its service marks system
during the last several decades.
(http://www.wtqca.com).
http://www.wtqca.com/
During
a recent press conference held in
Hollywood, January 28th, 2009, the CEO
said, "NBS WiTEL®© is still
the one of the oldest wired-wired
organizations in the world of mobile
Smart90 VATS web-wireless commerce. He
says the family owned organization still
has the trust in the consumer orientated
market place, saying that, "he desires
that all existing Telco operations in the
U.S. -- should want to sell an honest
mobile product, that operates under the
guidance of the FCC, CPU, and a
WiTEL®© Quality Control
Authority.
The
CEO of NBS WiTEL®© Co.'s is
now urging lawmakers to revamp the
nation's wireless quality-control system.
Nathan B. Stubblefield the world's first
Wireless Telephone®©,

In

stay in earning revenue from its legacy of
WiTEL®© assets, occurred
for over 81 years.
It
was announced last year by Troy, the free
ride was over for the AT&T, Verizon,
T-Mobile, and Spring. During the last 6
month, it has lost more than$500-Million

CEO
Troy C. Stubblefield wants wireless
quality-control placed under a new leader
in the FTC. He also calls for new
requirements that all Telco companies have
written NBS WiTEL®© quality
control plans, that there be annual
federal inspections of RF high frequency
facilities that transmit high-risk
blocking signals and other RF quality
cross-over reforms.
Troy's
endorsement of major changes could boost
President Obama's efforts to overhaul the
system.
"We
believe the key is to focus on prevention
of infringing the the service marks not
only owed by the NBS
WiTEL®© organization, but
by those companies that improved upon and
extended the original
WiTEL®© marks. Many of
mobile improvements, are potential sources
that will prevent the pirated RF signals
that might block and cause contamination
of the airwaves. That's the reason for the
NBS WIQC Authority, to identified and
properly addressed those issues before
they become an wireless quality-control
hazard," Troy said in remarks that are
being prepared for Congressional hearings,
and WiTEL Trade Show panel discussions,
and pitches.

U.S.
District Court Judge Stephen Larson in
Riverside decision, allows Matell
to win $-Millions in the Barbie vs Bratz
Doll copyright infringment action.
The Federal Court order was a sweeping
victory for El Segundo-based Mattel -- the
maker of the Barbie Doll. It was just last
year in July 2008, that a jury found that
the Bratz line, headed by Isaac
Larian of MGA, was
created by a designer that once worked for
Mattel under exclusive contract when he
came up with the idea for Bratz dolls.
The

Isaac Larian, the outspoken entrepreneur
of MGA, who has made a fortune off the
popular copyrighted Bratz dolls, was
ordered by U.S.

A federal
judge in Riverside, CA has delivered
several potentially fatal blows to the
popular Bratz dolls and their
manufacturer, MGA Entertainment Inc. The
first ruling came in mid-December and the
other on the last day of December. MGA's
archrival Mattel Inc. was ruled as the
legal owner of the Barbie toy line and has
the right to recall all unsold Bratz
dolls, giving notice to any/and all other
edgy dolls look-a-like, with or without

and adjacent land. The company said
CityCenter is now on track to fully open
by December.
The Jockey Club Alliance Group
confirmed the report that Casino operator
MGM Mirage, had confired on April 29th,
that it had agreed with partner Dubai
World and the pair's lenders to finish an
$8.5-billion casino complex on the Las
Vegas Strip.
MGM Mirage said Dubai World, the
investment arm of the Dubai government,
would drop a lawsuit it filed against the
Las Vegas-based casino company, which is
majority owned by investor Kirk
Kerkorian.
To get the extension, MGM Mirage
paid back $100 million under its revolving
credit facility and secured $300 million
of its debt with its Gold Strike Tunica
casino in Mississippi and undeveloped land
on the Las Vegas Strip. It also put up its
MGM Grand Detroit casino as collateral for
the rest of its credit facility.
All the deals are subject to
approval by gambling regulators, the
company said.
MGM Mirage received what it called
an irrevocable letter of credit for $224
million to secure its payments for
CityCenter, which the casino company has
touted as the most expensive private
commercial development in U.S.
history.
As part of the deal between the
partners, Dubai World agreed to repay $135
million in construction costs it owed that
MGM Mirage has paid on its behalf. Under
that pact, MGM Mirage also agreed to pay
any completion costs if the project goes
over its current projected budget of $8.5
billion.
MGM
Mirage, which has been struggling under
more than $13 billion in debt, also said
it reached a separate agreement with its
own lenders to waive its payment
obligations until June 30, extending a
prior agreement by 45 days.
MGM Mirage Chief Executive Jim
Murren said the extension gave the company
"more than enough time" to come up with a
comprehensive plan to fix its balance
sheet. CLICK

Club MGM Loan Default Mar 2009. - MGM
Mirage Auditors on March 17th
2009
raise doubts about the casino operator
ability to pay off JockeyClub MGM Loan
Default, which had a $1.15-billion 2008
loss.
  
Auditors raised "substantial doubt"
about MGM Mirage's ability to continue,
the largest casino owner on the Strip said
on March 17th 2009, in a regulatory
filing. The company also reported a
$1.15-billion fourth-quarter loss after
writing down properties because of
shrinking gambling revenue.
Casino Operator
MGM Mirage who's in charge of the Jockey
Club - Las Vegas City Walk project, won a
two-month bank court reprieve to
restructure its debts.
The auditors'
comments increase the likelihood that MGM
Mirage will seek bankruptcy protection.
Banks granted waivers on the $7-billion
bank-loan facility until May 15. The
company said March 3 that it was in talks
to avert a potential breach of
covenants.
In exchange for the
temporary covenant waivers, MGM Mirage is
prohibited from prepaying or repurchasing
other long-term debt or selling assets.
The company will also repay $300 million
of the fully drawn revolving loan, and it
accepted a 100-basis-point increase in the
interest rate.
MGM Mirage,
controlled by billionaire Kirk Kerkorian,
can also fund construction of its Las
Vegas City Center - Jockey Club project
only if partner Dubai World also finances
its half of the costs, the company said in
the filing. The casino company reiterated
Tuesday that it would finish the project
on schedule.

partner sues MGM Mirage over Jockey Club -
City Center in Vegas
April
March
24, 2009 Las Vegas -- The Dubai developer
building an $8.6-billion complex on the
Las Vegas Strip with casino company MGM
Mirage Inc. is suing MGM Mirage because
it's worried about the project's
viability.
"What
we are attempting to do is complete this
project," Dalton said.
Dalton
said the state-owned company "had no
choice" but to file suit.
"We're
not saying MGM won't be involved," Dalton
added. "We're anxious to work with
them, but we need to see them come out of
their financial problems."
"If
MGM can't manage its bank debt, how is MGM
going to make more equity contributions?"
Cohen said. "Maybe the answer is, well,
that gives Dubai World leverage, and they
want to control much more than half of
this joint venture when it's all over."
