“The Internet is going to be the place where mainstream professionally produced content, not just e-mails, will be streamed. We will be about to do things that I could never do while running Disney, Paramount or ABC,” said Eisner, who founded the privately-held Tornante investment company in 2005, and recently teamed with Madison Dearborn Partners to buy Topps for $385.4 million.

“Right now it’s about user generation and blogging, but it’s going to be about content.”
