Rocky, I think you are on to something here

CUBE/DIVI wants to provide solutions for this market

With such advances, C-Cube Microsystems Inc. projects that unit shipments of set-top
boxes will grow from 6 million in 1997 to 33 million in 2001.

Compare this to the data for Cable modems..

Cable modem sales increased by 130 percent in 1998 according
to a recent study by market research firm, Dataquest, which will lead to an
installed base of 5.2 million units by 2002. The Strategis Group, another market
research firm, predicts a customer base of 9.1 million homes by 2003.

CUBE already will be a solution provider for the Mediaone set top.
Most Cable data bandwidth companies are not making money yet, or not much,.......

Originally I bough the CUBE for DVD, but now I'm going to keep them for DIVI and the opportunity above. I hope this first Open cable win
gets them some more cable customers, or at least generates some serious interest at the upcoming NAB! Seems CUBE's two way capability
is finally becoming a selling point for them. I'd like to see the look of the graphics with AVIA's flicker filter also.....

Renaming the set top an internet appliance should help boost valuation-
people need to see some of these new devices before they make the connection.
