Actv and Wink have similar revenue. Actv can Individualize the programming and synchronize Web content with it. Wink can't. I know very little about Wink, but Wink does everything in the tv right? So HyperTV for now is limited to those who use computer & tv at same time and are willing to devote both boxes to the same programming... I may be unusual, but I use tv and computer for two different things - whoever is not on the web gets to pick the tv channel in my house. In my mind, the competition right now is between ACTV's interactive TV (ie Fox Sports) and Wink's whatever-they-have. I still say ACTV wins that battle. I think we're very early on the HyperTV curve and when HDTV becomes more mainstream and televisions have resolutions that approach computer monitors and HyperTV can integrate the web content and the television content on the television, then HyperTV will blow everyone away. But like I said a few posts back, even if you throw out HyperTV, I still say IATV's interactive TV is going to produce alot of $. -Mike
