Lucent in WSJ. WSTL's a jumping bean today........ BETTING ON TUT TECHNOLOGY (this is old news.) High-tech companies, including Compaq, Lucent Technologies and Advanced Micro Devices, are licensing technology from tiny Tut Systems that uses telephone wires to create a household network. The technology, called "Home Run," will be built into phone-networking modems, which will sell at less than $100 each. Other technologies, such as electrical power lines and radio waves, will undoubtedly also make inroads into the home-networking market, but Home Run has a head start -- the first modems will begin showing up on shelves in time for Christmas. "For the next three to five years, the phone line is the way to go in terms of price and functionality," says the business development manager for Lucent Microelectronics, who adds: "Wireless in the long term may be the big winner."
