General Instrument Corp chief financial officer Charles Dickson said he’s comfortable with analysts’ estimates in the range of $2.60 to $2.65 a share for the year ending December 31: in his speech the executive of the broadband technology provider said the Grand Alliance of high-definition television industry consortia is still in place; the Federal Communications Commission has asked several competing high definition television consortia to agree on a mutually-acceptable framework before regulators settle on a single US HDTV standard; he expects no significant revenues from HDTV before 1997.
