BCI Telecom Holdings, Inc. v. Jones Intercable, Inc., et al.


May 5, 1998 | Posted by Contributor | Print this page

Court permanently enjoined defendant Intercable from marketing as "programming" Jones Internet Channel, a service providing Internet access and content via broadband cable technology. The court noted that where the primary benefit of cable Internet access was the speed of transmission and the unlimited storage of information, the service constituted more than mere packaging or programming, and as such required the approval of the directors unrelated to Jones Internet Channel, as set forth in Intercable's Shareholders' Agreement.
