Re: Digital TV & ITV - Article "Is Interactive TV Ready For Prime Time?"

<< Go GMST! >>

While there is no specific mention of GMST or IPG in this article, which has a smart card focus, it is a pretty good backgrounder on ITV:

Excerpts:

- Many observers see interactive TV and digital set-top boxes as, if not the next big thing, then close on the heels of the wireless explosion.

- The TV is a viable contender to the PC for interactive supremacy in the home.

- American households will play host to 150 million-plus interactive digital set-top boxes by 2004

- It is not quite a revolution yet, and many observers are not sure interactive TV is ready for prime time, especially in the United States. The picture is different in Europe, where PC penetration in most countries is half that of the United States. That is also why mobile commerce has taken off there, say observers.
