From the 'There You Go Again' Department

"In five years, analog video will be dead," proclaimed Alexandre Balkanski, chief executive of Milpitas, Calif.-based C-Cube Systems (CUBE:Nasdaq). Digital video disk players, digital satellite broadcasts and digital cable-TV set-top boxes will rule, and C-Cube's chips will power them all, he insisted here, predicting an explosion in sales.

Right.

As our own Herb Greenberg has pointed out many times, C-Cube's exploding market has been right around the corner for a couple a corners now.

Digital video, which offers superior quality and compatibility with the computer world, is no doubt the future. But is C-Cube? Conference host Robbie Stephens cautions that as the new technology takes off, C-Cube faces the potential for deep-pocketed competition and price pressures. C-Cube's stock closed the day up 3/8 at 17 3/8.
