Upside Interview with Broadcom's Henry Nicholas, co-chairman, president and CEO of the Irvine, upside.com Ending paragraph......Do you have a sense of how big Broadcom can become? If we execute on all cylinders and satisfy the potential of the market, we could grow to be the dominant supplier of something that's going to be [in] every settop box, [in] every television. The potential is there to achieve an Intel-like position in that market. Seems that the same could be said for CUBE's hopes for the future.. BillyG, David N., Now Broadcom is supposed to come up with their decoder for GI pretty soon. How easy is it for them be experts at so many things? It seems that Broadcom's plate has too much on it for them to stay focused. Any opinions? Carnac can you help the thread here? Could Broadcom ever become a CUBE customer or are they destined to be future foes? I see that they are using MIPS for their future architecture.Thanks in advance.

Divi does Orlando. Zenith/C-Cube boxes......................... multichannel.com BellSouth Rolls Out MMDS in Orlando Orlando, Fla. -- BellSouth Corp. launched its digital-wireless-television service in its third market earlier this week, going head-to-head against Time Warner Cable in Orlando, Fla. BellSouth will offer customers in Orlando more than 160 channels under the "BellSouth presents Americast" brand. BellSouth also offers wireless cable TV in Atlanta and New Orleans. John Hartman, vice president of BellSouth Entertainment, said the Orlando launch is one of four markets in south Florida where the Atlanta-based telco plans to provide wireless video service -- Jacksonville, Daytona Beach and Miami are expected to be added in 1999. BellSouth is initially offering the service in Orlando at $36.99 per month -- about $1 more than Time Warner's basic-cable offering. BellSouth customers get 40 channels of digital audio, 34 channels of pay-per-view and specialty channels like Disney Channel included in the basic service. The Time Warner service -- which has about 570,000 subscribers in the nine-county Orlando area -- currently offers 122 channels, including 41 channels of digital audio and a 24-hour local-news channel. "Competition is not new to Time Warner in this area," said Diane Pickett, a spokeswoman for the operator. "We have the best technology with our fiber optic network, more programming choices and high-speed [data], and our reception is not affected by trees and weather." - 10/16/98
