Comcast Buys This
This Technology, the multiscreen video tech firm that counts major pay-TV providers as customers, will be part of Comcast. CEO Jeff Sherwin announced on the company’s website that Comcast agreed to acquire it. Post-acquisition, This Technology will continue to develop technologies and services for its customers, though they will be sold as part of the Comcast Wholesale portfolio. Comcast CTO Tony Werner said This Technology’s video infrastructure platform has played an important role in Comcast’s video delivery infrastructure. “Integrating This Technology into our advanced video group will accelerate our development cycles and strengthen our ongoing transition to IP video,” he said in a release. Founded in 2006, This Technology’s advisors include Layer3 TV CEO/co-founder Jeff Binder and CTO David Fellows.
