>>Who Will Rule the Set-Top Box?<< wired.com >>Chipmakers (Various): Like their software counterparts, computer-chip makers desperately desire a chunk of the set-top market to sustain their explosive growth. Among the players vying for a piece of the action: INTC, AMD, Cyrix, Motorola, Sun, and Microsoft (through its WebTV subsidiary). The next few months should see key announcements from cable companies and set-top manufacturers naming chip vendors for substantial set-top box orders. Consumer Electronics Companies: A slew of consumer electronics giants - Pioneer, Toshiba, Thomson, Mitsubishi, Sony, Philips, and more - are vying for slices of the set-top box hardware revenue pie.
