You are right. We have to develope low cost HDTV sets. But this will be
possible, only if we knows about the detail of the technology. It is
doubtful that we can easily get them from them. After the cold war,
the only market can keep our semiconductor industry running is the
consumer market. I don't think we can afford to lose it.
