30 Second Summary: Acacia
Update: 11-Mar
The outcome (court doc) of the multi-district panel is that all the cable lawsuits are rolled up under Judge Ware in Northern District.
Judge Ware is currently handling the porn/internet defendants in Central District, and it seems up to him about whether he will combine the cases or not since there are many overlaping claims, and the fact that prior art for the internet claims will apply to the cable ones.
Next court date is March 24th, where the judge will probably be exploring the cable and internet cases and decide how to proceed from there.
Now that this stalling action has been resolved, the defendants can push forward and resume their filing for Motion for Summary Judgement.
For those that read the Markman, Judge Ware said TWICE that the defendants should file for Summary Judgement.

It turns out that Homegrown Video / New Destiny, who is being sued by Acacia for patent infringement, actually has a patent license (though unbeknowngst to them until recently).
The company that was managing their operations negotiated a license that included HomeGrown Video.
It remains to be seen why Acacia didn't drop HomeGrown from the lawsuit.
Besides not understanding technology and making up interpretations of patent claims, it appears that Acacia has sued a company that has a license.
Ranks right up there with the RIAA suing a dead person.
