Tech and Television


Much of the current Silicon Valley M&A activity is the related to the digitization of Industrial America with social interactivity. The developments are creating new segments within industry including distribution channels. This digital segmentation is also creating pricing opportunities in response to financial earnings pressures and future value. Television is where the M&A caused disorder is most evitable. Technology has enhanced media content and digital has created multiple avenues to distribute content against existing broadcast systems. From traditional broadcast TV to cable TV to satellite TV to wifi video streaming, digital segmentation is making video content available for all customer viewing experiences of technology usage: the desktop PC, laptops, tablets, phones, television, and other mobility devices.

Telecoms traditionally are primed to focus on digital platform system traffic categorized as talk, text and data. M&A activity such as Verizon + Yahoo and AT&T + Direct TV + Time Warner are varied examples of data strategies of content focus. Verizon targeting social media communications of video with news, blogging, opinion talk and text. AT&T targeting video content data usage from satellite TV premium programming of pay TV for internet technology. Thus, creating channel specific content development based upon segment pricing for the various blocks of programming such as sports, politics, news, and the various genres of movie making providing other revenue sources in addition to the traditional advertising business model.


In essence, a cable TV and satellite TV distribution strategy using the multitude of content with pricing strategies to group content and digital channels of distribution to usage experiences. AT&T’s strategy appears that of a vertically integrated telecom with TV network capabilities applied to the digital segmentation created by expanding technology for influence over content creation. An increasing international demand for American big budget movie productions (primarily China) will impact segmented distribution strategies by the sheer volume of a combined American and Chinese audience and distribution channel economics.

Economic Development and Wealth Distribution


Came across a Bloomberg news article that used the Gini index to measure US metropolis for wealth distribution. The article ranked the top 10 Most Unequal US Big Cities based upon the wealth distribution index which reminded me of the ECMAnalyst's conducted Census evaluation creating the Development Metric index using Percent US Economy and Percent US Population for the 100 largest US metropolitans. A different measure of US cities; nonetheless, both are intriguing evaluations of development. For example, Miami, FL was ranked as the most unequal city in the US but on the development index it is ranked 55th by development contribution to the US economy. Concentrations of wealth are likely attributable to basis of development in leisure, tourism, Latin America gateway, and entertainment. Neither measurement considers demography of distribution but it is largely inferred in Gini coefficient indexing. The constructs of the primary industries for a metropolitan are indicators of predictability for wealth distribution.


The only metropolitans in the top 10 Unequal US Big Cities that are also top 10 metropolis of the Development Metric are Washington, DC, New York City, and Boston, MA. It is both alarming and informative with Washington, DC being the center of U.S. and international politics with economic bases in legal and government activities setting policy for the country. And New York City, the largest metro population, adding confirmation to communities feeling economically "locked out" from the city's and the nation's progress primarily from decision making within the region's largest industry being finance (Wall Street) and Boston, MA mutual funds financial services plus educational services economy components. California has two metrpolitan areas in the top five of the Development Metric largely due to the computer and digital technology industry but neither are reflected in the top Gini coefficient index of wealth distribution of Most Unequal US Big Cities.

Politics and Regional Trade

The politics of regional trade agreements are the attempt to “harmonize” legal framework around ideals conducive to development while introducing Democratic societal functions. In a sense, exporting Democracy using corporate economic governance to open markets accessing capital which accelerates corporate acquisitions leading to corporate dislocation and employment issues at “home.” Relative to the basic process of business management, the environment created is one of Mergers and Acquisition versus Research and Development for growth within regional territories. Imbalances get reflected in regional areas where development has historically been concentrated to a specific industry limiting the ability to rebound from disruption.

Disruption occurs when regions that have historically been driven by, even dominated by religion governance ideals meet democracy’s ideal of human individual freedoms as basis for trade economics. The Morality conundrum. American politics’ overemphasis on racial relations from the religious perspective of Moral behaviours simply to protect political demography leveraging Black | White morality economics. Internationally, the struggle appears to be regional cultures' emphasis on homogeneity of religious practices preventing economic development and skepticism of the American democracy derived from a history of struggles to protect civil rights.


Thus, the basic harmony reflects the best of American ideals and practices with country region governance where compatible to establish an acceptable structure to begin economic trade among societies while protecting already established and developing interests. “Corporate flight” is a calculated interest of market profitability taking advantage of market openings and a perspective of equivalence to the American market protections. It is also the source of initial dislocations at “home” until a new balance is achieved within employment politics.

A Glimpse into the History of "Law" Industry


Intricate to the American story is the story of industry where "law" is not an exception to the developments and interrelations called politics. From the early arrivals looking for wealth in the new Americas as portrayed in the Discovery channel's Real Life Pirates of the Caribbean documentary to the industrialists looking to expand territory claims, the "law" and "order" philosophies of the era have been introduced to this discussion in the Evidentiary Theory blog posts Part I and Part II. Also related is the ideology of managing relationships within a political frame combining genome science and religion demography found in the Relativity Management Theory XX and XY discussion.


The findings are consistent within a system of wealth accumulation using global regions to play their part in monarchial institutional developments of planetary resources as a sort of "keepers of the wealth" relying on the "law" to maintain the parameters of play within a democratic political system of economic development. The fraternal nature of "law" industry attempts consistency across institutional governance of Government, Religon, and Corporation which sometimes gets reduced to a lowest common denominator. Reflecting wealth protection strategies to manage financial system concepts of valuation [earnings cash flows, stored currency wealth, precious material accumulations, & corporate industry politics]. All of which are displayed in the analysis of the Panama Papers and related firms implementing the international transactions.
