Don, isn't it great to re-read those articles and remind ourselves of the hype from CUBE's competitors. Innovacom encoders in mid-1997? I really got a chuckle.

Now it says it will have first silicon in April 1998. I wonder how long it will take them to go from first silicon to a working, shipping product? And how far ahead will CUBE be by then?

I remember this article very well. Is there a way we could sue these guys? What a big untrue claim the article made?

One thing is clear: Without the copyright infringers overseas, C-Cube would probably have closed up shop by now. As recently as 1993 it was losing money on sales of only $24 million. Then the pirates discovered the marvels of its chips.

"InnovaCom has designed a single chip that it says can do the encoding compression. InnovaCom has arranged to have the chip fabricated in Taiwan and aims to have it on sale by mid-1997. That puts it ahead of C-Cube."
