Could this be the reason for the sudden interest in Cube this morning?

(NewsTraders.com)-- Integrated circuit (IC) manufacturers that product
the MPEG-2 chips are a solid way to play the impending explosion of
digital television, or DTV, according to Forbes.

Highlights:

- Companies that build MPEG-2 chips are "the crucial linchpin behind all
the hardware, cable transmission and content that make up DTV," Forbes
said.

- The MPEG-2 compression specification was universally adopted in order
to create a global standard for the transmission of digital pictures.

- Philips Semiconductors (PHG), STMicroelectronics (STM), Cube
Microsystems (CUBE), and Broadcom (BRCM) were listed as companies that

This is always the case. I remember when the E1 (CL 4000) original encoder was supposed to be in a PC card for $500 by Q3'94, but it took a few more years (2 at least) for that to happen.

Perhaps there is no competition to necessitate a cost reduction.
