Re: More price rises

.... this does come up quite a bit, so I'm not really going to go into too much, but make no mistake that Malone's "influence" in all these companies is to the point they are his companies.

I am well aware that he does not have majority shareholdings, although the class of shares he does own gives him far greater control than the actual numbers of shares owned. If being generous, you could say he has de-jure control if not quite the de-facto control of the companies, but nothing happens without his approval. They're his...

As for one sister company bidding against another, he likes that. He had a quote years ago saying that he likes his "kids" to slog it out, that way he gets the best deal.

The bulk of Liberty Media, as was, will be renamed F1 once the deal is completed next year.
