THREAD, The following release has to do with Worldgate's picture in picture (PIP) Hyperlinking capabilities. I'd be interested in hearing some views on this, both technical and user related from an application point of view. biz.yahoo.com Also, does anyone know if WGAT is still using Vertical Blanking Interval, or VBI, exclusively, in their delivery of bit mapped (as opposed to CGI, HTML, etc.) formats? That is, if, in fact they do use VBI and bit-mapping/shotgunning, or ever have. I'd also like to know what other bandwidth optimizing techniques they use on systems that are not so constrained for bandwidth. I suppose that if they are using bit mapped payloads, and VBI optimization, then they could very easily deploy their systems over cable operators' facilities that are currently (and simultaneously) supporting either ATHM or RR. True or false? If someone here can do a brief primer on this company's approach, I (and I am sure others) would appreciate it greatly. TIA. Regards, Frank Coluccio
