CE Forces Embrace the Net

In the hopes of revitalizing the TV industry before Digital TV hits, every major consumer
electronics company, and even some tier-two players, came out with Net-enabled
products.

Thomson Consumer Electronics and Philips Consumer Electronics [PHG] took bold steps
into unknown PC-TV territory and also offered low-cost approaches via Web boxes. Sony
Electronics Inc., Mitsubishi and most other consumer electronics companies, took a more
conservative approach to Net TV devices.

Look for more Web entry into the home in '98 to come via cable set-top boxes and DBS
add-in cards.
