The buzz online seems to indicate that Charles Dolan (Cablevision Chairman) still wants to buy the VOOM assets and keep the service operational - he formed VOOM HD (thereby creating the quote JMS found) as a new company to take on the VOOM service, failed to reach an agreement with the Cablevision board by 2/28 (a deadline set by the board), and then wrote a memo saying that he still wanted to pursue acquiring the satellite and some other resources in order to keep VOOM going independently from Cablevision. Cablevision appears to have made up its mind (selling the bird to EchoStar and shutting down services at the end of this month), but Dolan doesn't seem to have quite given up yet. I guess we'll all know one way or another in a few more weeks.
