About a year ago, CCUR told us they considered Ncube their major
competition in IVOD. However, Ncube didn't even show up in Atlanta
and the story was their system was not scalable. Whatever, apparently they didn't get selected by TWX.

We kinda thought Ncube and CCUR/SEAC would work together, with Ncube
furnishing a large centrally located server and CCUR or SEAC doing
the smaller systems. Sort of a hub and spoke layout. Don't know if
this is still possible or if Ncube is out of the cable business
completely. Goodboy, Michael, Steve Allen, what about Ncube now?

nCUBE likes ADSL

Their custom hardware and use of OVS makes the package a bit pricey relative to the commodity-built-up systems from CCUR and SEAC. Tougher to make the economics work out when you consider all the other costs at the head-end.

nCUBE has been in trials abroad and usually with Telcos.
