VOD info from conference call...

CEO mentioned "several large trials in Q3, one with TWX
and with other large MSOs". (Only 8-9 weeks left in Q3..
VOD really is starting!)

An analyst asked about the status of TWX's plan to
roll out production in October.
A: this has been delayed, though the major outstanding
issues mentioned earlier (content encription/decription,
billing systems, SFA headend problems) have been worked
around/resolved. Expect 3-6 month trials before a trial
site passed the test acceptance criteria to become
a production site which would then produce revenue for
the company.

Q: MSO readiness/willingness for VOD?
A: Varies among MSOs with TWX being the most ready and
aggressive for roll-out to TCI being more wait-and-see.
MSOs haven't budgetted much for VOD deployment this year.
Expect 2000Q1 to be the start of VOD ordering/deployment.

Good to hear that Vulcan Ventures on the cc.
Vulcan Ventures is Paul Allen's well-endowed VC operation.
