What do you guys make of the silence (so far) from TWX on Hawaii? There seemed to be several things indicating it is already rolling. Thanks, Nick

Jeff,

I think there are many positive implications here

#1. The press release regarding Excite@Home yesterday is a big event and probably goes hand in hand with this news story.

#2. That Excite@Home chose Vivid with GI STB's is a big win for CCUR. Check out this quote from the press release:

Troy Trammel, Excite@Home's chief technologist for the Local.TV product. "The support and help from Concurrent engineers,coupled with the quality of the Vivid video server made for a smooth transition for the implementation of Local.TV on the GI architecture."

What its important here is the line...."help from Concurrent Engineers"..which means they are very knowledgeable in all types of platforms and can offer technical expertise to Vivid to win contracts. Clearly they are defining that they are #1 in VOD solutions.

#3. Concurrent is a Microsoft certified solution provider, a key relationship from the real time division which will carry over to VOD.

Overall... These relationships will bring Exciting future opportunities.
