What
factors drive high-tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley (California)
to create new high growth enterprises and wealth? With around 70%
of all the venture capital deals in the USA in 2004 taking place
in California, and over 55% in northern California there must be
something that creates this regional ‘super power’,
or cluster, in technology? The

Research Highlights
DSL ICs are Making Broadband Faster and
Cheaper
The DSL market is beginning a shift from predominately
ADSL deployments to increasing numbers of VDSL deployments,
according to In-Stat/MDR (http://www.instat.com). The high-tech
market research firm reports that the overall DSL IC market
in 2003 was, essentially, synonymous with the ADSL IC segment,
which accounted for 90% of total port shipments and 86% of
total revenue during that time...
Although Infineon was the
early market leader in VDSL IC shipments, the company’s
market share declined from 91% in 2002 to 70% in 2003, in
the face of fierce competition from privately held Ikanos
Communications, as well as Israel-based, Metalink.

Chip Industry Set for Turmoil
By David Manners --
Electronics Weekly, 11/22/2004
A massive semiconductor industry shakeout is on the way as the public
companies suffer declining revenues in contrast with the privately held
companies, which are growing. That is according to Future Horizons,
which makes the claim in its semiconductor monthly update report for
November.
According to the firm, 71 out of 72 publicly quoted semiconductor companies
suffered a reduction in their collective revenue in Q3. However, the
non-publicly quoted companies grew their collective revenues by 5.2 percent.
"There is clearly a different set of market dynamics at play, favoring the newer,
non-public, firms at the expense of the more established incumbents. The stage
is being set for a massive industry shakeout, of a magnitude not seen since the
'70s and '80s. There will be a lot of blood spilt on the roads lying ahead," said
the report.

Application-Specific ICs: Customer-Specific

A Free White Paper From In-Stat/ MDR
In-Stat/MDR's newest white paper addresses the future
of customer-specific ICs and their market. While some will
say ASIC design starts are declining, the truth be said, quite
the opposite is true. The future, more then ever before, will
be defined by, as well as dominated by, the company that offers
the most for the least. And, that means product differentiation,
or customer-specific designs. The semiconductor industry continues
to be one of change, this paper discusses those changes and
how they will affect the industry's future, more positively
than one otherwise might think.

Semiconductor Roller-coaster blues
Avoid the next boom and bust? Yeah, right. - Geoffrey James
--
Electronic Business, 11/1/2004
Semiconductor demand, like the economy, is cyclic. When the economy
turns upward, people buy more products, creating more chip demand. And
vice versa, of course. That's true of other markets too, but the semiconductor
industry is particularly idiotic in the way it reacts to the cycle.

...the conclusion is very motivating... it seems
like we will keep doing this, where is the feasible solution? It
will not be "evaluating and compensating semiconductor sales personnel
on gathering market intelligence, rather than on writing up big orders". We
have marketing departments already ... if it is all about "fear
and greed" and "answering to investors" I do not see a change
soon. It indeed requires changes to the entire
corporate culture and corporate governance, which ... good topic for
the next Stammtisch event. Anyway, nice
that we talked about it again. (hw)

Evolution of Handset Market
Has Been Beneficial Yet Challenging for Chip Makers
According to In-Stat/MDR (http://www.instat.com), the last
few years have been very good ones for handset chipmakers, as
new technology has quickly been integrated into many handsets,
prompting users to upgrade. This, combined with continued subscriber
growth, worldwide, especially in emerging nations, means the
number of new handsets produced each year continues to increase
at a rapid rate. However, the high-tech market research firm
finds that supplying components for this market can be challenging
for handset chipmakers, because not only can consumers' tastes
change at a rapid pace, but also because handset component content
can vary greatly from one region to the next.

Such actions, taken by Intel's Craig Barrett
