"Texas Instruments is still seeing strong demand for its market-leading digital signal processors in both of these markets. The company's last quarter results posted in line with analysts' expectations as revenues and earnings grew 25 percent and 30 percent, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. An article in Barron's published after the company reported earnings basically stated that Texas Instruments' stock was a better bargain than that of most of its peers in the telecommunications industry. Furthermore, it appears that Texas Instruments is spreading its dominance from the wireless arena ( DSPs or digital signal processors in cell phones) to the explosive DSL (digital subscriber line) industry. According to IDC Research, Texas Instruments' products will be used in 45 percent of all the ADSL equipment in the world, based on the total amount of analog line drivers and ADSL chipsets that the company is set to ship in the year 2000. Of all the various DSL flavors, ADSL is currently the preferred choice of consumers because it provides substantially higher download speeds than upload speeds, which is ideal because the majority of people download rather than upload files on the Internet."
