Digital TV outshines PCs in
ecommerce growth

Ecommerce is growing more quickly via digital TV
than over the Internet, according to research house
BRMB. In a survey of digital users conducted by
BRMB International, it has found that seven per cent
of digital TV viewer have bought online, only two
months since the launch of fully interactive services
from Open.

Also while digital viewers have only waited two
months to make their first purchase, typically Internet users wait six months
before spending on the Web.

Paul Milsom, the author of the report, said familiarity with the medium of TV
is helping to overcome security fears people have with PC-based ecommerce.
