How many cable box alliances are there?
A. Many. To start with: Scientific Atlanta (SA), Kaledia, and Motorola: SA will build the box, Motorola the chips, and Kaleida the O/S and user interface (using ScriptX of course). Silicon Graphics (SGI), Scientific Atlanta, and Toshiba For the Time Warner’s Orlando trial, SGI will provide the RISC (MIPS R4000) and software, SA will do the box again, and Toshiba will provide the chips. General Instruments (GI) and Microsoft: GI will make the box and Intel will supply the special low-cost 386SL processor on which a 1MB flash EPROM executable core of Microsoft windows and DOS will run. Microsoft will develop the user interface. Hewlett Packard (HP): HP will manufacture and/or design low cost, open architecture set-top decoder boxes (not a part of the Eon wireless deal). The CPU will explicitly not use a 80×68 based processor. CLI and Philips: Compression Labs will provide the encoder technology and Philips will provide the decoder techology for an ADSL system whose transport structure wi
