Frank...open vs closed network solutions... tv centric internet enhanced data... many new interactive tv features do not require true open networks. As an example many "How to programs"..cooking, home/car repair,medical/science/travel programs etc tv programs will be enhanced with drill down details that the consumer can ask for more info . As an example the cooking instructions for a particular menu item that was shown during the show. click on the remote control and the data pops up in a picture in picture view while the show is inprogress. take the next step with e-commerce purchace the item in the commercial, or drill down on a music /video program . show me the cd's /dvd's, etc that the artist has produced and link directly with the web site to purchase the material advertised. allow for a feature to bookmark a web site to go back for more date while surfing the net. targeted advertisments delivered to your settop box inserted in your normal tv programs based on customer profile and demographics. now are all these web pages located on the internet servers beyond the cable companies headend or the cable companies intranet servers at the headend?? surfing the web................ Next allow for an internet channel/portal that pops up a browser residing in the settop box and surf the web.. does it realy make a difference to the cable co if I surf the internet on a pc with a cable modem or a wireless keyboard/mouse thru my settop box and get all my email delivered to the tv? As long as this is billed as an extra feature I think the cable companies will provide the services and collect the fees.
