unclewest ....look to Europe to see where Interactive TV is going..only a billion tv's around the world to converge with the internet over the next 10 years newsbytes.com By David McGuire, Newsbytes WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A, 30 Aug 2000, 4:54 PM CST Most Europeans will opt to use their televisions, rather than PCs, to get connected to the Internet over the next few years, according to new study. More than 20 million European households will use the interactive television devices to connect to the Internet this year and by 2005, 50 percent of European households will use interactive television device, according to a Forrester Research study released today. The Forrester study, which tracked Internet access rates in England, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, found that only one in four European consumers use personal computers to access the Internet. Since e-mail is the primary reason cited by European consumers for wanting home Internet access, interactive television companies that offer robust e-mail tools should be in a strong position to capitalize on the European trend, report authors said in a release today. Forrester - one of the world's largest research firms focusing on Internet- related topics - surveyed 17,500 European consumers for the interactive television study.
