Moonray, good post. It appears that the road to extensive depoloyment of some of these new consumer - targeted technologies might be a big longer than earlier anticipated. The case is similar for DVD. The WSJ today carried an article in which it was stated that "....video players in the Japanes market are getting off to a much slower start than some of the major manufacturers had expected." Toshiba said that "sales of the players in Japan will amount ot around 300,000 to 400,000 this year, well below the 500,000 to 600,000 first anticipated". Sony said "it has always had modest expectations for DVD video player sales for the first few years" ((DVD was introduced in 1996 there)). "Sony forecasts that indutry-wide sales of DVD vidio players will amount to 1,000,000 worldwide over the year through March, 1998, including 250,000 sales in Japan." dlo
