<<5/13/99 M$ft invests 5 Billion in AT&T in exchange for T agreeing to deploy 7.5 Million set top boxes (no time factor stated). M$ft also has a relationship with GMST>>

Sorry I forgot to mention that AT&T has a 10 year agreement
to use TV's IPG.

I'm also so tired I'm not even making sence to myself.

Enjoy
Doug

pala,

Well Justin I'm just starting on this, but TV Guide has a 90% market share in all DIGITAL IPG's deployed to date. 1.5 M with 6K per day growth.

I realize that you probably read that from a GIC company release but it is simply not factual. Thomson has manufactured and sold 6 million digital STBs to date in the US market alone. Of course, they all have been royalty bearing for Gemstar.


Regards
Stew
