OpenTV and AOL... etown.com "You've Got Mail" on your TV 10/25/1999 By the staff of etown.com October 25, 1999 -- That familiar (and possibly annoying) phrase will be heard on many TVs come early next year. AOL and OpenTV recently announced an agreement to collaborate on the development of AOL applications, including email and instant messaging, which would be delivered over OpenTV interactive TV software. "With almost 99 percent of American households having one or more televisions, it makes the most sense to deliver the promise of convergence through the television," said Jan Steenkamp, OpenTV CEO. "What convergence means to most consumers is interactive information combined with everything they like about their favorite TV programming, and we think the agreement between AOL and OpenTV will enable us to deliver key AOL communications applications along with your favorite TV programs." Thirteen TV networks worldwide currently use OpenTV software, including British Sky Broadcasting and TPS in France. EchoStar's DISH Network is scheduled to launch interactive services utilizing OpenTV software in the United States early next year.
