GI's box. Cable and wireless is using it worldwide. The rumor last winter was that C-Cube's inside............................. multichannel.com Weekly Edition for May 25, 1998: GI, Network Computer Inc. Sign Set-Top Deal By LESLIE ELLIS General Instrument Corp. locked in a deal with Network Computer Inc. last week to jointly market NCI's "DTV Navigator" software for GI's digital set-tops, marking another major set-top win for NCI. NCI -- formerly known as Navio Communications, which was the offspring of an Oracle Corp./Netscape Communications Corp. union -- has been pushing domestically and internationally to drive DTV Navigator into cable systems via digital set-tops. DTV Navigator, rigidly designed around open standards, is a client-server approach based on Netscape's Internet browser. It provides television access to any Internet application developed with the commonly used HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and with Sun Microsystems Inc.'s JavaScript. Last week's move builds on NCI's news earlier this year that it would supply its software to European operator Cable & Wireless plc. In that deal, C&W said it plans to license NCI's software technology for use in its worldwide digital-cable-television deployments. C&W is also using GI's set-tops for that project. DTV Navigator enables services like e-mail, Web browsing and other TV-based interactive services. In the past eight months, NCI has linked with Scientific-Atlanta Inc. and, more recently, with Pioneer New Media Technologies.
