<div class="article_title" >Cisco Eyes New Satellite Networks</div>

<div class="article" > Cisco made a call the other day ... the first ever VoIP call using a commercial satellite without any terrestrial infrastructure. That would be zip on the ground equipment.
For the first time. It's a part of Cisco's new IRIS (Internet Routing in Space) technology which promises to route voice, data and video traffic between users over a single IP network technology which, Cisco says, "offers several enhancements over conventional satellite
technology." Greater cost effectiveness is, of course, key among these as Cisco continues testing and upgrades with its IRIS router aboard Intelsat 14, which was launched a year ago. Said Cisco of the project, "It's all part of an ambitious Cisco plan to transform satellite
networks, growing a potentially massive new market by putting routers on the numerous communications satellites that orbit our planet, thus extending the Internet into space.•

<div class="article_title" >SkyLog: Starz/Netflix Talks; Conditions from Comcast; EchoStar Gets DoD Blessing</div>

<div class="article" > Starz, Netflix Accelerate Talks: Look for a new Starz/Netflix deal "well before Q3 2011," says BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield. The duo's current contract is believed to expire in Oct. 2011 but Greenfield says he now expects a new agreement to surface much sooner given Starz's gotta-have status for Netflix. Payments to Starz, and its digital movie partners Disney and Sony, are likely to balloon from $30M to more than $250M (as an average), Greenfield believes. Read the article <a
href="http://www.btigresearch.com/2010/12/07/starz-and-netflix-accelerating-their-conversations-expect-a-new-deal-well-before-q3-2011/%20">here</a> and remember that you must register first. The Deal: Comcast's latest ex parte with the FCC says it will "not require unaffiliated content suppliers, as a condition of carriage on Comcast cable systems, to refuse to sell their programming to MVPDs and Online Video
Distributors (‘OVDs')." But, the company says, it retains the right to insist that said suppliers not offer their programming for free during an initial window and that Comcast should have parity with any other distributors. Gov't & Regs: The battle between Reps. Joe Barton (R-TX) and Fred Upton (R-MI) for chair of the Energy & Commerce Committee and Communications Subcommittee has been resolved.
Upton is the guy (and it looks like his focus will be healthcare) and Joe promises to be a good soldier. --- Meanwhile, the guy who currently holds that job (Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA)) wrote the FCC and the DOJ to tell them that the FCC should insure that "competing program distributors have access to programming or channels in which Comcast-NBCU has a financial interest." As for the internet, Waxman says Comcast must be prohibited from degrading or
blocking content that competes with its own services or providing its own with better service. People: Cox PR
honcho David Grabert is moving over to Canoe Ventures as VP, marketing communications. Mallard Holliday will take Grabert's place at Cox. --- Verizon's Anthony Melone has moved up to EVP and CTO; he was previously SVP and CTO for Verizon Wireless. -- MTV has bumped Jeff Lucas up to head of sales for the
music and entertainment groups. He was previously EVP of the entertainment sales group. Programming: DISH Network has added PixL HD
to its line-up on Ch. 388. The net is described as "The first true family-safe movie channel featuring original movies and miniseries that inspire, entertain, and touch the heart." --- Telemundo's Sunday night broadcast of "Futbol Estelar"
catapulted it into the No. 1 spot for Spanish-language broadcast nets in several key ratings categories. Overall, the match was seen by nearly 4.7 million viewers, including 3.1 million Adults 18-49. Up in the Sky: EchoStar Satellite Services has been rated compliant with the Department of Defense's most stringent
requirements for mission assurance. That gives the company the go-ahead to bid on all federal satcom projects. --- Former Intel CEO and chairman Craig Barrett will speak about the crisis in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and potential solutions at the 27th National Space Symposium Corporate Partnership Dinner, April 12, 2011. --- The latest hit to the beleaguered Harbinger/LightSquared play for hybrid wireless: According to the reports the Skyterra 1 sat is having problems with its reflector antenna.
