]]> Comment on CMBS thought by Dark Space http://andrewbode.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/cmbs/#comment-1475 Dark Space Fri, 06 Mar 2009 00:23:49 +0000 http://andrewbode.wordpress.com/?p=105#comment-1475 I agree there will be a lot of issues that come up with so many parties involved, but it shouldn't be catastrophic. In a CMBS deal, there is a single specified servicer that handles all performing loan, and non-performing loans get handed over to a single specified special servicer to handle workouts and foreclosures. Just like the bank, there are a number of investors in the bonds, and a Trustee that sits at the top and ensures everything is being handled correctly. Further, analyzing the CMBS is not much different from analyzing the bank - except in the CMBS you get to actually see all of the loans, tenants, sponsors, and all of the financial data on the underlying collateral. I'd buy CMBS over any bank, any day of the week. I agree there will be a lot of issues that come up with so many parties involved, but it shouldn’t be catastrophic.

]]> Comment on Mobile TV coming soon to a phone near you by Ben Poweski http://andrewbode.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/mobile-tv-coming-soon-to-a-phone-near-you/#comment-4 Ben Poweski Thu, 19 Apr 2007 21:31:54 +0000 http://andrewbode.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/mobile-tv-coming-soon-to-a-phone-near-you/#comment-4 I'm not sure which format you had the opportunity to see, but my guess is that you saw an early MMBS implementation riding on a 3G UMTS network. The CDMA based MVNO Amp'd mobile currently has a video offering. It will be interesting to see what the adoption is with Amp'd, and what it means when Cingular/ATT and T-Mobile deliver a nationwide offering.
