The purchase price for the two-year-old startup was around $30
million, the person said. Concept.io had a $19 million valuation last
July when it closed its Series A funding round, VentureWire reported.
Swell delivers a personalized audio news feed from sites such as NPR,
TED Talks and Harvard Business Review, similar to what Pandora
delivers for music. As users skip or stay on content, that data is fed
into the algorithm, which then suggests new content.

Mark Cuban's Blog: AEREO – Everything Old is New Again
AEREO deserves a lot of credit for their effort. It was a long and expensive shot to do what they went for. But they went for it. And they attempted to pivot after their SCOTUS loss. I was watching with interesting, because it is something we had examined 15 years ago at Broadcast.com
The technology has obviously gotten better on all sides of the equation, but sometimes a good idea is a good idea. Even if it is hard to make work. This is from January of 2000. What is fascinating is the alliances and attempts that were being made or considered. We also did the same kind of work to determine if we could set up antennas and a server for individual users and see if that was legal
Below it you will find a doc from 1999 where we tried to do the same thing in a different way a few months earlier.

Naked selfies extracted from 'factory reset' phones

The firm, called Avast, used publicly available forensic security tools to extract the images from second-hand phones bought on eBay.
Other data extracted included emails, text messages and Google searches.
Experts have warned that the only way to completely delete data is to "destroy your phone"
