> The biggest number I can find in the CEA report > is sales to U.S. dealers of wireless phones: > 70.5 million in 2003 > 79.7 million estimated (in January 2005) in 2004 > 89.2 million projected (in January 2005) for 2005 This implies that the CE industry is plenty capable of providing even the 73M STBs the NAB predicts would be required, in the 14 months left to 1/1/2007. Since I believe that number to be quite a bit higher than the actual number, and since we most likely have 26 months rather than 14 months, this should be a doable do.
