What if anything does this have to do with ccur: PowerTV, which quietly added 1 mil. users of its set-top operating system in '99, is shining up a long-planned IPO?-one part of a plan to distance itself from its current owner, Scientific-Atlanta, so it can extend its wares into the set-tops of competitors. Time Warner, as S-A?s biggest customer, also is PowerTV?s biggest taker. We?ve been tracking the development in our monthly Interactive Television letter; this morning, CNET picked up on the possibility with word that IPO talks are accelerating. PowerTV sorely needs a clear path into other set-tops, if it wants to compete more vigorously with Microsoft?s WinCE. Plus, the ITV sector remains red-hot in Wall Street valuation; our ?big 7? list tallied more than $30 bil. in equity cap on 1/12.
