"Consider the videoCD, a sort of poor man's digital-videodisk player. The units sell for about $120, but Mr. Balkanski says manufacturers produce them for about $75. C - Cube 's video compression chip, which costs about $12, is the single most expensive component in the box. That's a smaller share of the value than Intel's Pentium commands inside a PC, but Mr. Balkanski says C - Cube can increase that share over time by integrating more functions onto its chip, while the cost of the player declines." The cash could be better used at this point to pick up some smaller NICHE players key in integrating more functions. Who might the pawns be?
