Hiram, Frank:

My reference to 256 QAM for for the next DOCSIS standard, the
so-called Hi-PHY standard. It is not used today. BRCM's chip
is the most widely used cable modem chip at this time. It
is used by COMS and others. The only other DOCSIS compliant
chip set I am aware of was designed by Libit, which was recently
purchased by LU. STII had also a cable modem chip, but I
have not heard about it in a while.

I have not kept up on TERN lately, but amazingly enough,
as of last year, a CableLabs report I had seen indicated
that S-CDMA had only a slightly higher throughput with
16-QAM as with QPSK. TERN has indicated it will be able
to achieve 30Mb/sec in the upstream direction, but frankly
this is a claim which is viewed with skepticism.

Finally, it looks like that the USW-GBLX deal will be DOA all right,
except that the folks giving it the thumbs down are USW shareholders.

Best regards,

Bernard Levy
