Digeo makes software and services for cable companies, which allows them to provide interactive entertainment products to subscribers. It has already inked deals with Allen's Charter Communications and Motorola, and Charter CEO Carl Vogel will serve on the board of directors of the new company.
Palo Alto, Calif.-based Moxi was launched two years ago by WebTV founder Steve Perlman. It debuted with a big splash at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, announcing plans to license technology that would allow set-top boxes to access and store digital media such as movies and music.
Digeo CEO Jim Billmaier will become CEO of the new company, and Moxi CEO Rita Brogley will become executive vice president of business development and marketing. --Margaret Kane, Special to ZDNet News
