Hi Dave
1) How useful is hyperlinking technology- does web site come up in a separate window, or does it interrupt ongoing TV programming?

Not Very, to me, the hyperlink it takes you to the networks website
NBC = NBC website. No seperate window. IMO they need to tye hyperlink to ads.....then you would have something

2) Do you think that WGAT service, in its present incarnation, is a compelling way for advertisers to get to their market?

does not apply yet I bet its in the works

3) How much would you pay for this service- let us use AOL/Earthlink/Mindspring/etc. as a benchmark. Compared with what these organizations offer, how much is the WGAT service worth to you?

$5-$10 per month The browser is very simple no JAVA or Frames. I always use my computer connected to local ISP It is faster to work with

4) Are there any elements of service that are particularly good or bad, when compared with the more traditional modes of internet access?

Browser is bad
initial hookup is very fast 5X faster compared to 56K dialup

5) Has WGAT service increased the length of time that you or your family spend watching TV?

Slightly

6) What percentage of programming is currently Hyperlink compatible?

Hyperlink always takes you to the networks web page, programs are not hyperlinked

Hope that helps
Perry
