NY is the original city that it already operates in.

^Makes sense that it's not here. STL is home to Charter Communications (noting new HQ is in NYC Metro Area) and Suddenlink Communications, two very large cable companies. STL is also a major base for AT&T, which offers Uverse TV (note that San Antonio, where AT&T is HQ'd, is also not on the list). Aereo is trying to gain market share w/o pissing off the cable companies that run the internet systems too much by avoiding their home territories first.

Meanwhile, we are way, way off topic.

That's partly thanks to the St. Louis Technology Entrepreneur Network, which helps new companies write business plans, find mentors, get funding, and more.

Silicon: Implanted in America's Midsection

America's Innovation River Valley?

Branding idea - Show a catenary arch on a motherboard; amidst a web of cables in a server farm; on a chart displaying bandwidth; on the terrazzo floor of a tech company that just moved to town; as the shadow of Contegix's building; as the doorway to a funding meeting; as the upward path of a market penetration study (not the downslope); as the basis for a community founded in complex equations (including the equation for a catenary angle).

Side note: Hey CNN, stop using stock photos from 1989!
