From Electronic News Online.................... INTEL GUIDES DVD FOR PCs -- Intel today at the Intel/SPA DVD Developers Conference set down the first guidelines claimed to help define the use of Media Control Interface (MCI) commands and a plan to transition MCI-to-DirectShow development including enhancing DVDs for PCs. These guidelines are slated to allow developers to create a single version of a DVD title with the assurance that it will be compatible with all PCs shipping with DVD technology. Intel: 408 356-8080. IN-STAT: CABLE MODEMS AT $2.1B BY 2001 -- The cable modem market is expected to grow from 171,000 units this year to over 10M units worldwide by 2001, according to recent figures from In-Stat, the market research firm in Scottsdale, Ariz. In-Stat forecasts revenues will grow from $79M to $2.1B. Influencing this growth is, of course, the Internet. And, with all the entertainment capabilities being added to the Internet, such as video, the Internet is becoming more bandwidth intensive, and simple dial- up modems won't be able to be able to reasonably deliver data, said Gerry Kaufhold, senior analyst for In- Stat's Multimedia Service. Although, the major market for cable modems will be North America, Mr. Kaufhold said cable TV operators in Western Europe, Japan, Asia, and Latin America will soon be delivering cable modem services to their subscribers, as well.
