[Oracle Video Servers/Hong Kong/ADSL] Hi Dug - Glad you liked my list. There's a couple of other ones I find interesting - CIEN Ciena, which makes WDM gear, and RMBS Rambus, which licenses a wide-bandwidth memory architecture. Bandwidth, bandwidth, bandwidth: that's the key to the next few years, not hard drives, or faster desktop CPUs. You mentioned ORCL's video server - Yes, definately, that's a good one - I'd forgotten about that one. That is going to be big also, when the telcos et al start delivering that kind of service. In a nice coincidence (or maybe not a coincidence) I noticed this news item today: Wednesday December 17, 12:17 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Oracle Corp. Singapore Telecom Uses Oracle(R) Video Server to Deliver the First Nationwide Video-on-Demand Service-Magix SINGAPORE, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL - news) today announced that Singapore Telecom (SingTel) has successfully deployed Oracle(R) Video Server to deliver the first Video-On-Demand (VOD) entertainment and news service through the first nationwide broadband multimedia program, Magix. Oracle Video Server is an end-to-end software solution that enables customers to store, manage and deliver full-motion, full-screen TV-quality video and high fidelity audio from a server to a client such as a TV set or PC. [TEXT DELETED] Enabled by Oracle Video Server, Magix is being made available using high-speed ADSL modems to more than 50,000 SingTel subscribers. The scalability of Oracle Video Server is limited only by the supporting hardware capacity and network infrastructure. Portable across all major industry-platforms, networks and set-up boxes, Oracle Video Server allows SingTel to choose the components that best meet its needs. Steve P.S. thanks for your comments re: ORCL as an employer.
