Users can give away or sell Internet access to their neighbors. There are already Meraki-based networks in 25 countries, from Slovakia to Venezuela, serving more than 15,000 users.

Launching a pioneering business to fulfill the unmet demands of the marketplace fits Bill’s way of

entertainment news. Bill preceded that success with another premiere brand—the NFL on ESPN.
Bill is also a seasoned executive with more than 25 years of senior management experience with
