ACTV, GI Bow Addressable-Ad System

Chicago -- ACTV Inc. and General Instrument Corp. are developing a way
to deliver addressable, targeted
advertising via digital cable, as well as broadcast television and
satellite.

GI will combine its digital interactive system and consumer set-top
boxes with ACTV's proprietary
"Individualized Advertising" software and programming capabilities.

Besides offering targeted delivery of commercials, ACTV president David
Reese and GI executive vice president
Richard Smith believes this system will offer e-commerce and such
interactive advertising opportunities as
couponing.

The companies said they have begun talks with such advertisers as
American Home Products Corp. and ad
agencies such as BBDO Worldwide, McCann-Erickson WorldGroup, Saatchi &
Saatchi and Young & Rubicam
Inc./The Media Edge.
