starting at 1:09:00, he talks about his rationale for the merger with AT&T (& TCI), and what happened afterwards.

Thanks! Quite a wonderful collection of anecdotes packed in there. It certainly gave more color to some of the stories in Cable Cowboy.

 

Another interesting open ended lecture video by Malone where he talks about more recent stuff is the following. I had found it quite interesting as well.

I really enjoyed this interview with Peter Barton - a key figure within TCI. Lots of good stuff on Bob Magness, John Malone, TCI and deals.

Great find!  The part at 1:18 provides a very different perspective on the infamous TCI/Liberty split.

Here's John Malone getting grilled on the failed TCI/Bell Atlantic merger. Some interesting background on TCI as well as other things. Malone starts in at about 45mins.

Whoa!  I don't know how I missed this thread!  Talk about a hidden gem.

 

I'm going to pull a reddit and reply solely to "bookmark" this thread for later review.
