  • But this year the money has stopped flowing after investment losses reached $1.5-billion for 2008 and the university was forced to cancel a planned $62-million endowment payout, representing about 5 per cent of its operating budget.

Wanted: A New Biz Model for Electric Power - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  • a radical departure from the traditional utility business model: making more money by selling more power
  • a smart grid that allows any entrepreneur to be a power generator or a vendor of energy-efficient systems, threaten utilities' monopolies
  • You are not making a lot of money anymore building big power plants," says Wellinghoff. "You have to figure out what business you are in
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Here's how a utility can make more by selling less. Instead of spending $2 billion on a new 1,000-megawatt power plant, say, the utility decides to spend $2 billion or less insulating homes, paying customers to install more efficient equipment, and making the grid smarter. Taking those steps would slash power consumption by more than 1,000 Mw, eliminating the need to build the power plant and cutting greenhouse gas emissions at the same time
  • $2 billion investment
  • Even though the price of electricity will be higher, customers who comply will be using much less power (and those who don't will effectively subsidize those who do)
  • The new model isn't a sure thing

Web publishers left with little after middlemen split ad spoils | Marketing & Advertisi... - 0 views

  • In a not-atypical scenario, a publisher may only receive $1 of a $5 cost-per-thousand media buy once all the middlemen have taken their tithes. Where does the rest go? According to an estimate from Tolman Geffs, co-president of investment bank Jordan Edmiston, it gets divided like this: The agency ($.75), ad network ($2), data provider ($0.75), ad exchange ($0.25) and the ad server ($0.25).
  • The space between advertiser and publisher has become jam-packed over the last decade, with literally hundreds of ad networks, data companies, yield managers, ad servers and exchanges all purporting to serve advertisers or publishers in some unique way; but all have their own business models that may or may not be adding value to either.
  • they're all dipping into the display-ad revenue stream.

  • what parts of the online display-ad ecosystem, estimated by eMarketer to be worth $7.9 billion in 2010, are adding value for publishers or brands, and what parts are preventing the flow of brand dollars into the system.
  • While some publishers remain wary of Google as both a service provider to publishers as well as a competitor for display-ad dollars, Google's argument is that its motivations are virtuous. As VP-Product Management Susan Wojcicki said last week at the Internet Advertising Bureau's annual meeting, Google makes money when publishers do. That, and the set-up isn't much different from Microsoft, itself a seller of online ads as well as a service provider to publishers.
  • Any time you have companies talking about their secret algorithms or black boxes, it should raise a red flag, he said. For publishers and advertisers, the question should be: Do they make the whole thing bigger and better?
