I always try to come into a new day with a new frame of mind. Yesterday I was a shitpot. Just a note. Broadcom (BRCM), an internet chip supplier trading at $130/share, announced its entry into the set top box market and home applications. This follows on the heels with Media One/ Phillips. There is no doubt that this will be one of the hottest consumer areas for the future. Interesting, Broadcom is just beginning to develop a single chip that performs for set top boxes. I think I heard that it is being developed in conjunction with Cisco. I may stand corrected about Cisco. If MSU is for real, the company claims it has the single chip technology and is right around the corner for the marketplace. Is MSU a step ahead?

Del , I think your wrong saying this is not MSU's market. If it hooks up to a TV set be it phone line or cable MSU has got to be able to do both to be sucessful . But any way here's another article from China. Looks like everyone can put out news except for MSU. Motorola, HKT in deal to boost iTV services South China Morning Post Company Multilink • Motorola • VTech • Intel [ Motorola ] is to supply Hongkong Telecom with multimedia technology which will allow it to upgrade its iTV multimedia services to subscribers' set-top boxes through a phone line. Motorola and Telecom would not release the financial terms of the deal, although asia.internet.com news service said it was worth US$100 million. The set-top box technology, called Streamaster, is a Motorola- owned architecture that supports interactive 3-D graphics, Java, Mpeg digital video, hi-fi audio, Internet access, electronic commerce and broad-band networking. It enables a set-top box to function as a game system, network computer and home broad-band router. "We will be able to add more services in the future, and customers will be able to sign up for these services and have them installed seamlessly over the phone lines with no inconvenience to them," Mark Evensen, general manager of technology development for Telecom's Interactive Media Services, said. The iTV video-on-demand service lets subscribers view digital movies and surf the Web at high speed. It has 80,000 subscribers. Motorola will provide motherboards and chips sets to SAR manufacturer [ VTech ] , which will make customised set-top boxes for Telecom. The appliances are due to be shipped in volume by March. Streamaster was developed by Motorola's media processing and platforms division, a new arm of the company's semiconductor business. The architecture is based on a PowerPC microprocessor, a network processor and a Nuon Media processor - chips all made by Motorola. Motorola, like global chip giant [ Intel ] , has been looking to increase sales by advancing technologies that use sophisticated, high-speed chips. Intel also has ambitions to put its StrongARM chip technology in set-top boxes to be released later this year. (Copyright 1999) _____via IntellX_____
