Well, after reading a lot of the links and articles, I'm starting to accumulate CUBE again after selling off yesterday. From the descriptions of the different protocols, it seems resolution-wise they are pretty similar. HQ-VCD actually has the same supported resolutions as CVD. There is a slight question as to whether 3/4-D1 will be supported by the govt standard since the CVD only goes to 1/2-D1 (but it might be easy for CUBE to move up since I think Ziva can handle D1). The only remaining question is whether their are some non-video components (e.g. HTML-like stuff) that was added that can't be microcoded in, but the previous citation from CUBE said that they will make CVD compatable with SVD (which is supposedly a superset including HTML support). In any case, their video networking has nothing to do with this and they are undervalued from that alone. We just have to watch this CVD issue since it can impact the stock price.

insider sales... This says that only one Cube insider sold in the last year. biz.yahoo.com The rest are form 144 planned sales which means they registered to sell but didn't pull the trigger. Form 144: Intention To Sell Restricted Securities biz.yahoo.com Form 144 filings are indicated by ''Planned Sale''. Form 144s must be filed as notice of the proposed sale of restricted securities. Restricted securities are those that are acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer or an affiliate in a transaction (or chain of transactions) not involving a public offering. An insider may file a Form 144 and not actually complete the sale. If the sale was completed, the insider should have filed a Form 4, indicating the transaction was completed. Form 144s contain additional information which may be beneficial. The data includes the name of the brokerage firm, insider's address, phone number, and the dollar amount of transaction. The amount of stock an insider may sell is ''restricted'' by a number of factors, such as shares outstanding, trading volumes, etc. The Form 144 must be filed prior to, or on the approximate date, of sale. When searching for Form 144s, keep the following considerations in mind: The filing of Form 144 is not required in any case where the amount of stock to be sold during any three (3) month period does not exceed 500 shares and the aggregate sale value does not exceed $10,000. If the seller does not sell all the stock covered by the form within 90 days after the filing, the filing process must be repeated before the commencement of further sales, except in cases where the passage of time has extended the seller's holding period.
