Here's a capsule on OPTV I found on Hoover's... doesn't it sound a lot like the capsule on IATV??? OpenTV wants to open your TV to the digital world. The company develops software for interactive digital television systems. With its software, one can use a remote control to surf TV channels, access interactive services (such as shopping, banking, and e-mail), and even control camera angles and instant replays during sporting events. OpenTV also offers integration, application development, and other services. International pay TV company MIH Limited owns a majority stake in OpenTV, whose other investors and development partners include Sun Microsystems, America Online, News Corporation, Liberty Digital, General Instrument (now part of Motorola), and Time Warner. Again, I ask, (and I'll keep asking 'cause I still can't figure it out...) How is IATV different? What is IATV's competitve advantage? Is IATV going to be the leader in this space and if so, why? If someone on this board can't explain it (without getting defensive, please,) I'm am sure the markets cannot figure it out either... Thanks in advance for any insight anyone may have on this. My best, Leslie OT: Bruce, I checked out SPYG. Looks interesting. Thanks
