Yes, Mark. I do believe it. But I'm also known to be naive. TCI in talks on new cable-TV boxes - WSJ biz.yahoo.com NEW YORK, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT - news), Intel Corp (Nasdaq:INTC - news) and other major technology companies are in negotiations with cable giant Tele-Communications Inc (Nasdaq:LBTYA - news; Nasdaq:TCOMA - news) to supply as many as 10 million ''network computers'' for the next generation of cable television, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The deal could be valued at more than $3.0 billion, the newspaper said. The stakes in the competition are enormous, it said, as TCI's purchase may set the standard for digital TV. The purchase could go up to as many as 25 million units if TCI's network of affiliated cable companies follow suit, it said. TCI has set Monday as the deadline for submission of technical and financial proposals, the newspaper said. --------
