Dear Mr Cuban… I was interested to read your thoughts on establishing a beatwriters co-operative in the United States…

The other resolution we had blog-wise for 2009 was to try and not start every other post with the word 'interesting'. Even if it is.
So in a bid to turn over a new leaf, that is fascinating.

Before we start to dissect Mr Cuban's thoughts on where next for networked sports reporting in the US, a brief bit of background... he's 50, an 'entrepreneur billionaire' who happens to own the Dallas Mavericks NBA basketball team.
As in www.mybasketballwriter.com/mavericks
He also owns NDNet - a cable distributor; so, therefore, should have a vague idea of how networks run.
Anyway, the piece is very interesting illuminating ...
