I guess I'm the only one here?? HIGHLIGHTS FROM CABLE CONFAB: ETV WILL BE BIG The National Cable Television Association. annual convention was held this week in New Orleans. Among the highlights: Another design win for Liberate Technologies (LBRT $28-41/64). Liberate licensed its enhanced TV software to Cancom, the leading provider of satellite television services in Canada, and named Cancom its exclusive satellite partner in that nation. The company also announced a partnership with National Semiconductor (NSM $52) to help set-top box makers and network operators lower costs and reduce time to market. Microsoft (MSFT $67-7/8) and AT&T (T $35-1/2) expanded their broadband television partnership as AT&T agreed to license Microsoft's TV platform software to use in ETV deployments. While it is unclear to us how substantial this agreement is and how it affects Liberate's opportunity to become AT&T's platform, it indicates to us that other big companies are committed to the future of ETV. We were impressed with the AOL TV display at Liberate's booth, which attracted large crowds.
