Oracle has developed and demonstrates both types of machines:
consumer devices, such as the RCA machine and the forthcoming
"Enhanced TV" system shown at the Consumer Electronics Show, and corporate, such as those in the Network-In-A-Box package.

NC for coporations is a preliminary moving. They are very easy to go through house by house if the TV databases were install. MicroSoft wanna to deliver internet through webTV to every living room. That the very beginning to combine TV and computer into one. The problem is the current law is not allow to do so. However, it will be ok for this kind combination in the future. We'll see.

The only significant attempt to date to merge television and the Internet, WebTV, does little more than make the Internet available as one more TV channel. WebTV is an Internet-or-TV proposition. Network Computer, Inc. focuses on a different model: Internet-while-TV, or Enhanced TV. True merging of television and the Internet exploits Internet resources to extend and enhance the TV viewing experience with a range of hybrid programming and services.
