BTW, the latest news from ICC is that they have already identified the winner of media rights auction. A total of 4 bidders took part in the process - Sony, Viacom, Disney Star and Zee. ICC has announced that the difference between the top bid and the second placed one is more than 10% and therefore no second round bidding will take place. The identity of the winner will be revealed by today (Saturday).
Disney Star was revealed as the winner earlier.

Also, it seems that the ICC wants to go to the US and UK markets soon which is good news.
Heard that the top bid was closed to $3 billion and it's just for 4 years.

ICC must be feeling lovey dovey after the final numbers and I'm sure the ICC office will get some early fat checks too as a bonus.
