For now, Diller IS out of the picture. He has no affiliation with the NBC bid. There was a time that he was trying to forge an alliance of sorts with Viacom but, they have since faded from the auction.

Anything can happen including having NO bidders winning the auction and Vivendi deciding to go the IPO route but, my guess is that they would rather reach a somewhat "sure" agreement rather than test the sometimes turbulent waters of the IPO arena.
