Each week, Next TV writers Daniel Frankel and David Bloom engage in a text chat about the TMT industries. This discussion is vitally interesting to at least three people in the global population. Are you one of them?
Daniel Frankel: Hello, David. Hope you had a good holiday. Great Thanksgiving weather out here in the SoCal high desert town of Indio. But we still stayed inside and did what we were supposed to do — watched a lot of football on TV. Nice rout by your Missouri Tigers of Arkansas Friday. (it was either watch a midtier SEC game that I had no connection to whatsoever or talk to my in-laws again.) And a turkey NFL game on Amazon between the explosive Miami Dolphins and the not as dynamic New York Jets, who are winding down yet another season rendered hopeless by quarterback Zach Wilson’s … inabilities. Beyond the young Wilson’s obvious limitations, there was a lot of talk about how ingenious Amazon was to pay $100 million for that single game, which served as a Black Friday funnel for its broader retail platform. My question about all of that is, how do we really know?
