Singapore Telecom Uses Oracle(R) Video Server to Deliver the First Nationwide Video-on-Demand Service-Magix PR Newswire - December 17, 1997 12:18 ORCL %CPR %MLM V%PRN P%PRN Jump to first matched term SINGAPORE, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL) 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. Magix (http://www.magix.com.sg/) is a premier broadband service on the SingaporeONE network. SingaporeONE is an integral part of the Singapore IT2000 masterplan to transform the nation into an "Intelligent Island" where the quality of life is enhanced by the extensive use of information technology. The SingaporeONE network is a national high-capacity network platform that will deliver a potentially unlimited range of broadband multimedia services to homes, workplaces and schools in Singapore. Magix leverages the extensive network infrastructure built by SingaporeONE to deliver a suite of services including Shows, News, Magix ShopStop, Speednet, Interactive Learning, Games, Music and Magix City to its subscribers. "Oracle has long been the leader in multimedia asset management, and is proud to provide the enabling technology for the first nationwide VOD service," said Mark Porter, vice president of the Media Server Division at Oracle. "Oracle Video Server provides a scalable, mission-critical foundation to help Magix manage and deliver its VOD services to subscribers securely, reliably and economically." 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. "Oracle database, video server, application server and the tracking/billing applications play an important role in providing SingTel the back-end support to ensure high performance, scalability and reliability that the Magix system requires to deliver value-added services in a convenient and economical manner to our customers," commented Roland Tan, general manager, Multimedia Services Division, Singapore Telecom.

The good news refarding Oracle corp: 1) The Telecoms which parred their spending on ORCL products in 1997 will start implementing in the coming year. Singapore Telecom has got the ball rolling. Our company, another utility company and a heavy user of ORCL products is planning on upgrading to the next major release within 3 months. I am hearing that this account will alone generate upto $20 million in revenue for ORCL. Looking at the latest charts, I think we are going to make a spike to the $26 level anyday now. The initial selling will occur at $24 but once those sellers are out of the way and taken care of, $26 - $27 is on the horizon. This stock has not had a $1 1/2 - $2 daily move up since it fell from heaven. I think we are close to seeing it. The Dec. 25 call options are trading 1/8 - 3/16 and were as high as 1/4 yesterday. With the markets expecting these calls to expire worthless, I believe we will see $25 soon after this Fridays options expire. The Santa Clause rally and the new years rally are going to contribute to the rise besides the fact that mutual fund managers are going to come in big time and invest part of their assets in this company going into 1998. Oracle is still the leader and MSFT is tied up with the DOJ overs its Windows 95 and IE issues that it is going to focus their attention away from competing at the database level. Oracle is free and clear for a takeoff. Informix is in deep trouble as can be seen with its latest stock price (under $5 on last checkup). Those funds holding IFMX are going to sell that junk and pump the money into a guarenteed money maker. No other place to turn to expect Sybase, ORCL and MSFT. The technical rally is about to begin so brace yourselves. V.K
