Mark Cuban on the company that made him a billionaire: Why I knew it would succeed despite many naysayers (via CNBCMakeIt)

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban looks on after a game against the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on February 3, 2020 in Indianapolis, Indiana.In the mid-1990s, just before the dot-com bubble, Mark Cuban was approached by a friend about a business idea.

"When I'd tell people the vision, they'd say, 'You're crazy. I'll just turn on my TV. I'll just turn on the radio,'" Cuban said on"I knew this was a winner," Cuban said of Broadcast.com. "I had no doubt in my mind." Cuban said he "firmly believed that streaming would take over all of television," because he "believed in the price-performance curve for PCs [personal computers] and broadband, and that as PCs would continue to get more powerful, the price of disc drives and of bandwidth would continue to fall.""I had that vision that we would follow this path."

"I saw very quickly that user adoption was enormous," Cuban said. "No one used it and said they don't need it."
