If you are interested in what is going on you have to look at the 8-K. It is not easy to understand without a stable of lawyers, but you can learn a few things from it. I will cut and paste some things that caught my eye. For the complete 8-K: freeedgar.com Important Definitions -- Company and Parent: AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION, dated as of October 27, 1999 (this "AGREEMENT"), by and among C-Cube Microsystems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and Harmonic Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PARENT").

From The Dataquest Conference brochure for tomorrow. Hopefully he will be impressive? Wednesday, November 3, 1999 8:45 am - 9:30 am Converging on Video in the Next Millennium Alex Balkanski, CEO, C-Cube Microsystems. Science fiction writers have predicted it for years: seamless voice, video and data with the operating ease of today s television sets. This convergence of communications delivery channels may well become realizable with the advent of digital video compression and the deployment of broadband networks. Can seamless interaction between MPEG technology and digital voice and data be embedded in a new generation of silicon? Mr. Balkanski unveils how semiconductors will again turn science fiction into everyday life, as systems-on- a-chip technology enables a future we ve only imagined. Key issues include: What is the critical role of MPEG standards in achieving convergence? What are the hardware versus software solutions for digital video? How important is open architecture in new video networks?
