of course data mining is going to become the killer app of interactive TV - but this data will be mined from the programs people watch and not email )- which was my point - interactive tv is not going to be like the web. but a limited interactive experience (this will be consumers choice) but as i said TIVO and RePLAY their model is to control the spigot to get the data info- ie what someone is watching and wants to watch. the tech will become commodity type devices (put into all sorts of devices WEB TV DSS set top box for cable and DTV) the big question is who will ultimately control this spigot??? the cable companies?? the content providers??? AOL?? and what happens when privacy issues come into play??
