Another historic first, I do not remember anyone else out there doing this "By leveraging the intellectual property held by both GI and ACTV, television advertisers can now target commercials for their products and services to the appropriate consumer audiences, providing unmatched value and accountability for their media dollars," said Richard Smith, Executive Vice President, General Instrument. "At the same time, Digital ADCO improves the consumer experience by cutting through the plethora of television advertising to deliver commercials that make sense for viewers based on individual household preferences." <<"By leveraging the intellectual property held by both GI and ACTV,>>> In other words, why advertise with wink or someone else who may be in our space ??? Advertise with the owners of the intellectual property ! very powereful
