Yes, I think you are right. And that's what the article you posted at Message 3432082 was saying, I guess. CUBE and LSI are "seeding" Chinese OEMs with DVD technology not only for the potential market there but also to prod the Japanese OEM giants to get their DVD act together: It could be a straightforward hop from there to Chinese exports. "When China begins to export DVD players, that's the Japanese [companies'] worst nightmare coming true," said Martin Levine, a partner at Digital Technology Consulting (Dallas). "Even though they may not want to give up control over the technology, they'd have to see the end game." And the chipmakers can do this because the chip is becoming the system (as the article that John re-posted was saying). Remember that game, Connect 4? "Pretty sneaky, sis!"
