The M is Matsushita, Panasonic's parent as a potential partner to go after TCI . I guess the GI announcement kills that deal :-(

LONG BEACH, Calif. -(Dow Jones)- Pioneer Electronic Corp. said Monday it formed an alliance with France's pay-television giant Canal Plus S.A. and semiconductor firm C- Cube Microsystems Inc. to produce a digital system for the cable-television industry.

The system will allow digital video and interactive television applications such as an interactive program guide, Internet browsing, video-on-demand, network games, home banking, on-line shopping, and data and digital download capabilities, the companies said.

The system would use technology developed by Canal Plus that would prevent movies from being pirated.
