Imagine the revenue potential of just
one interactive Super Bowl.


mike.com, I concur.

This year at the SuperBowl, installed on 800 of the seats at Pro Player Stadium was something called Choice Seat. It was a monitor with on screen controls that allowed one to watch the game from a variety of camera angles, get constantly updated in-game stats, get stats on any NFL player, play an interactive game with the 799 other Choice Seat holders. It was outstanding, and needless to say people were clamoring to check it out, and those that were sitting near screens but did not have one themselves were needless to say, bummed. (Myself being one of them) From what I understand of Individualized Television, this sounds like it is close. And if the reaction of these sports fans at the game is any indication, we have a winner on our hands.

Think of the success of N64 and Sony Playstation. Now put that together with a live game. And this is just one of the uses for ACTV.

I am going to go the NY office to check out ACTV in person. And the more I think about it, I should probably buy more IATV...
