General Instrument shipped approximately840,000 interactive digital set- top terminals during the quarter, doubling the number of units shipped in the prior year period. During the quarter, General Instrument also launched more than 90 interactive digital headend systems including MediaOne systems in Atlanta, GA; Cleveland OH; and Richmond VA. These new MediaOne launches expand on the previously announced launch of GI's digital technology by MediaOne in Detroit, MI. From the time of product introduction in late 1996 through the second quarter of 1999, General Instrument has shipped more than 4.3 million interactive digital set-top terminals and more than 850 interactive digital headend systems. ''Solid consumer demand for digital video services is driving higher rates of penetration, promoting new digital launches, and in turn, resulting in strong digital video shipments,'' said Breen.

Mike, GIC's earnings report was about as good an ACTV investor could hope for. The DCT-5000+ is the box in which ACTV can do it all. DCT5000+ COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION BEGINS Commercial production of the DCT5000+ interactive digital set-top terminal began at General Instrument's Taiwanese manufacturing facility earlier this month. Built around a 167MHz RISC processor, 32 bit/3D graphics platform and DOCSIS 1.1 capable modem, the DCT-5000+ is an advanced digital interactive set-top terminal that will be capable of Internet Protocol telephony, high-speed data and advanced interactive services. ''As the industry's first mass-deployable advanced digital set-top where video, data and voice truly converge, the DCT5000+ represents the target platform for several leading cable operators,'' said Breen. ''The start-up of commercial production for the DCT5000+ represents a key milestone in our digital program.''
