Huge cable box deal possible Microsoft and Intel reportedly are discussing the production and sale of as many as 10 million new cable-TV boxes to TeleCommunications Inc. in a deal worth as much as $3 billion. TCI's specifications for the next-generation decoder devices suggest a revolution in the cable business which would have subscribers also getting access to the Internet, Net telephony and video on demand services, according to Monday's report in The Wall Street Journal. Englewood, Colo.-based TCI has set this as the deadline for the submission of technical and financial proposals to supply the boxes which the Journal describes as "network computers." The report says that during last week's cable TV trade show in California, there were indications Microsoft and Intel were in final negotiations.
