For months, Time Warner blitzed the airwaves and the press with the name 'TV Everywhere' to describe efforts to make television shows available online only to people who subscribe to cable- or satellite-TV services. Google the names 'Bewkes' '" as in Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes '" and 'TV Everywhere,' and you get more than 45,000 hits. But today, as part of the flood of CES announcements, satellite-TV company Dish Network announced its own TV Everywhere, which it turns out has nothing to do with Time Warner's TV Everywhere. For Dish, 'TV Everywhere' is a new set of products using Slingbox technology to allow people to pull up shows they watch on their living room TVs on laptops, mobile phones or other devices away from home. It turns out Dish filed in September to trademark the name TV Everywhere. Time Warner spokesman Ed Adler said the company has been careful not to use TV Everywhere as a brand name but rather a term to describe an 'initiative' of TV companies. Still, largely because of Time Warner's exhaustive P.R., TV Everywhere has become the TV industry's Kleenex or Xerox, a name that is a stand-in for the process of requiring a pay-TV customer to prove he is a subscriber before accessing online-video services. Otherwise, we're left with its clunky technical term: 'authentication.' Dish Network says when it comes to consumers getting TV, well, everywhere, its use of the name is closer to the truth. 'We actually have the ability to allow you to go to one place and get 100% of the content you've subscribed to,' said Ira Bahr, Dish Network's chief marketing officer. 'We actually deliver it in a far better way than the authentication model allows.' Time Warner said it always expected cable companies would come up with their own brand names once authentication services were available to consumers. Comcast calls its first-out-of-the-gate authentication service 'Fancast Xfinity TV.' (Though even Steve Burke, Comcast's chief operating officer, referred to authentication as 'TV Everywhere' in a December conference call.) If confusion over nerdy tech names seems familiar, it's because there was a high profile kerfuffle between Cisco and Apple over the rights to 'iPhone.' Cisco had owned the trademark to the name 'iPhone' since 2000, an inconvenience when Apple introduced its smart phone three years ago. Cisco sued Apple, and the two sides called a truce with each side allowed to use the iPhone name. Time Warner said it will continue to use the TV Everywhere name 'descriptively.' Dish's trademark application remains pending, and the full approval process could take a year or longer, the company says. After that, though, Dish wants to own TV Everywhere. 'There's no doubt that if we were to succeed as fully as we'd like to, it would definitely place limits on our competitors' ability to use the brand name,' Mr. Bahr said." |

Dish has established a "TV Everywhere" section of its Web site at www.dishnetwork.com/tveverywhere that references its remote DVR programming features and includes a link to Sling Media, the maker of the place-shifting Slingbox devices EchoStar bought for $380 million. The satellite company originally expected to offer the "SlingLoaded" ViP 922 receiver this spring, but now plans to debut it before the end of the year. A Slingbox-based service, however, cuts out content owners by letting a subscriber rebroadcast live TV or DVR content over the Internet to a PC or mobile device. By contrast, the broader industry has used the TV Everywhere term to describe services offered via distributors in partnership with programmers to potentially increase advertising revenue. As outlined by Time Warner Inc. CEO Jeff Bewkes, for example, "TV Everywhere" encompasses Web-based video services available only to pay-TV subscribers provided through cable, satellite or telco TV operators in cooperation with programmers. Dish representatives would not say whether the company is developing a service along those lines. Comcast, Time Warner Cable, AT&T, Verizon Communications and DirecTV each have TV Everywhere-style services in various stages of development with programming partners, and Canadian cable operator Rogers Communications plans to launch one later this month. EchoStar, meanwhile, has been pitching cable companies on a Slingbox-based set-top box to offer "TV Everywhere" services to customers in the way the industry leases DVRs. Dish Network and EchoStar, which sells hardware and satellite services, became separate entities in January 2008, but the DBS operator remains EchoStar's single biggest customer. Dish filed the "TV Everywhere" trademark application with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office on Sept. 17. Among other things, the filing covers "television transmission services" as well as "providing access to electronic sites for remote access, recording, and viewing of television programming via personal computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and laptop computers." The satellite operator's trademark application also refers to "peer-to-peer network computer services, namely, electronic transmission of audio, video and other data and documents among computers" and "rental of set-top boxes and digital video recorders for use with televisions." According to the USPTO's trademark-search database, as of Monday Dish's application had not yet been assigned to an examining attorney. nobody_I am just trying to figure out why Nalin would feel compelled news that is like 3 months old |
