Motorola to introduce new cable technology
BY JON HEALEY
Mercury News Staff Writer
Motorola Inc. plans to announce a high-powered line of cable converter boxes
today, hoping to prod the slow-moving U.S. cable industry into offering more
sophisticated, interactive services.
In particular, Motorola's technology combines the functions of a network
computer, a high-speed modem, a DVD player, a game console and a
home-communications traffic cop with the features of a cable converter box. It is
one of the first, if not the first, such highly integrated devices to be ready for the
market, although it is not likely to be the last. [snip]
