Speculation on Big Players for Online Poker

When the UIGEA was passed in the States and online poker became something of a distasteful subject, one would think that big name entertainment companies would want to distance themselves from it. According to some recent speculation, however, that could be the opposite of what is going on. Rumors are floating that big name companies like Sony, Columbia, Time Warner, Universal and Apple all have their eyes on the industry, waiting for the moment that it becomes a legally regulated market. At such time, the rumors insist, these companies will enter the market in a big way.
