GoNorth, Not yet doesn't mean not soon. I also don't believe the reaction is a yawn but rather naivety (plus a little distraction from generally down markets this morning). The convergence of television and the Internet will not have to wait for set-top converters. Yesterday's Wall Street Journal featured several articles on wireless Internet access using devices like cell phones. Hence one could be watching a Dutch auction over conventional broadcast TV while bidding via telephone on a Web site; perhaps a second best interim step to fully-interactive TV, but certainly not "way off in the distance". >>buffet, the fact is that currently there is virtually NO convergence between the TV and Internet world. It's one of those "way off in the distance" scenarios. Maybe this explains the yawn.<<

GoNad, Contradictory again are ya. Come on; do your DD. Convergence; why is such a household name buying all these set-top boxes. Next time you phrase something with the words "virtualy NO convergence between the Internet and TV" consider backing up your statements! Geez!!! Your slipping, and I'd hate to see your credibility on this board become damage to the point nobody respects you! <<ggg>> ------------------------------------------------------------------- In Tuesday's online edition, the paper said AT&T plans to buy up to 2 million more cable-television set-top boxes from General Instrument Corp. and one million cable modems from Motorola Inc., which recently said it planned to buy GI for about $11 billion in stock. <<<To: buffet (35423 ) <<<From: GoNorth Tuesday, Sep 21 1999 11:08AM ET <<<Reply # of 35584 <<<buffet, the fact is that currently there is virtually NO convergence between the TV and Internet world.
