Part 1 -- Sony's Goal: Develop In-Home Networks - -February 27, 1998 (I think this this has already been posted, sorry for the dupe) twice.virtualmarketing.com Central to the in-home network will be a set-top box, labeled "Almighty Receiver" in a Sony blueprint. The set-top will include software that can process, separarte and distribute the different kinds of digital content to various devices through i-Link (IEEE-1394) broadband digital pathways. Using the set-top box, users will be able to "download" new content and services, such as music, classified ads, extra information about news and sports, and entertainment. The "set-top" gateway will also source video and data from local libraries, such as A/V hard-disk drives, DVD juke boxes, MiniDiscs and material stored in home PCs. In short, Sony said it defines "convergence" as "the fusion of commercial broadcasts with interactive home network systems."
