Our decision to divest our non-Internet assets was not easy, as these businesses have achieved tremendous success and continue to have significant growth potential,

We are not comfortable using the public Internet, although there has been a lot of good work with [virtual private network] and public-key infrastructure technology.

It was a great decision to do this because more and more people are watching video on the Internet than ever before. It gives ESPN another way to offer more than what can be offered on television.

We believe that the success achieved in assisting U.S.-based Internet companies to enter Japan can be duplicated for the U.K. and other countries.

This [decision to purchase the full license] speaks to the success of our other deployments.

The basis for content on the Internet is now shifting from text to video. This allows advertisers to take advantage of the kind of branding advertising they are used to on television.
