Very off topic: follow up to various posts. The relationship with Scientific Atlanta(SFA) is still proving to be one of CCUR's best non product accomplishments in the last two years. At first I was not too pleased with the stock options granted to SFA because it will dilute earnings. Now it appears to be the glue that holds our investment so valued. A couple of years ago I saw a presentation that showed the major players and technologies and their relationships to each other . It was a intertwined messy foil to say the least. The following are two such examples of relationships between Scientific Atlanta. This relates to CCUR in that SFA is aware of what's going on and they still want to play with CCUR; ie the deal still matters. Frontier (FRO) is the old Rochester NY telephone company in Bell Atlantic's back yard. Only FRO is not old by any means. The CEO is Joseph P. Clayton former Exec VP Thomson Consumer Electronics (RCA) frontiercorp.com Recently an old friend was added to their board. The CEO of SFA biz.yahoo.com Even though I personally deplore Pointcast and its intranet bandwith hog SFA has that covered as well. They know push technology. David Dorman, CEO of PointCast, Joins Scientific-Atlanta Board of Directors sciatl.com There are three wires coming in my home. Telephone, Cable and Power. SFA also makes a box found in many homes with or without their STB. If there is a market for combining the Power and Cable boxes with appliances; SFA has it covered. Those other start up companies with their latest STB's Have a long way to go just to catch up. sciatl.com And finally. There has been much talk and hype about CCUR spinning off the RT business. I have concluded that they need to instead spin off the VOD business. market it as a internet product. Create an icon. And name the company ConcurrentVideo.COM
