Here's really the way it is - This is my vision of what will happen to Cube From 25 years experience with the equity markets: ALL of the digital video stocks are playing dead, they're lining up at the starting gate. CUBE, DIMD, SIGM, ESST, CREAF, etc. As it becomes more and more apparent that DVD, Streaming Broadcast Video, and digital video in general is taking off, which it must, this whole group will ALL advance together. Everyone in this group will double and triple their money, at least, from these levels. This is the way of the stock market, it has been this way for over a hundred years. Stock groups go down to their absolute minimums, play dead, try to trick you out, and then begin multi year major advances, as long as the underlying theme has a real basis, as digital video surely does. This digital video high tech group even looks like real investments rather than tulip hype. Like an individual buying a a personal business, after doing some real homework. Unlike buying a tomato for $150, like Yahoo. That's the way I see it. Good luck shorting this group Rarebird, I hope you have a metal plated jock strap.

This isn't MPEG-2, or broadcast quality, but when the pipes are fat, Every cable operator and TV network will be competing for revenues from their archieves(Content)............................... wired.com TV by the Bit by Judy DeMocker 5:45pm 31.Jul.98.PDT FasTV wants to do for television what Yahoo did for the Web: build a central directory for people to search for whatever content they want. Only instead of sifting through publicly posted Web content, FasTV wants to allow its subscribers to browse closely guarded archives of television shows and news broadcasts over the Web. This has raised the hackles of TV stations and cable companies. "The cable companies are so scared that this may cannibalize their advertising revenue that they don't want to give me the rights to their programming," said Dariush Gholizadeh, CEO of the Cambridge, Massachusetts, startup. Gholizadeh figures that every cable operator and TV network is going to compete with him to create searchable archives of their programs, anticipating the convergence of the television with the Internet. He wants to create a huge archive of shows from every channel, giving users the ability to see any sports event, any TV series, or any network's coverage of the State of the Union address. Already, FasTV has the technology to instantly convert existing broadcasts to digital signals, archive them, and make them searchable and navigable over the Internet.

Marty, Alex said they are following all the telco developments closely. Maybe Bell Atlantic doesn't care if ADSL doesn't take off.. I didn't know this....... NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (Reuters) - Bell Atlantic Corp. (BEL - news) said on Monday it would issue in excess of $3 billion in notes exchangeable into ordinary shares of Cable & Wireless Communications Plc (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: CWZ.L; corrects symbol). Bell Atlantic currently owns 18.5 percent of Cable & Wireless Communications (clarifies company name), or about 278 million shares. A Bell Atlantic spokesman declined to comment on how much the company would potentially reduce its debt burden or what projects it would fund with the money Trying to keep pace with TCI-AT&T?. According to a statement, the regional telecommunications giant will use the money generated by the issuance to reduce its corporate debt and to fund ongoing business opportunities. If investors elect to exchange the notes, Bell Atlantic will have the option to either settle in cash or exchange shares. The notes will have a medium-term maturity, with the exchange price established at a premium to the Cable & Wireless share price at the time of the offering. ''This issue will help realize some of the substantial value that has been created by our investment in local communications facilities in the United Kingdom, starting with NYNEX CableComms in 1990 and now with Cable & Wireless,'' said Frederic Salerno, Bell Atlantic's senior executive vice president and chief financial officer, in a statement Bell Atlantic said it would coordinate its activities with Cable & Wireless' management, noting that the timing of the issue would depend on market conditions. The securities will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and, subsequently, will not be offered in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
