I wonder what this is all about, exactly, but interesting, nevertheless. dailynews.yahoo.com Thursday June 4 12:31 PM EDT Lucent and Uniview take aim at interactive TV DALLAS (Reuters) - Consumer electronics company uniView Technologies said today that it and Lucent Technologies are collaborating to bring Internet telecommunications capabilities to interactive television and Internet device markets. The platform for this will be done through Lucent's Inferno Network Software, uniView said in a statement. In its statement, uniView said the new system, expected to be available to uniView and Lucent customers around third quarter 1998, will enable simple, rapid Internet access, e-mail, and other telecommunications capabilities. "With telephones in more than 94 percent of U.S. households and the Internet becoming a part of everyday life, it is imperative that telephony and Internet devices be fast, efficient and user-friendly," Patrick Custer, president and CEO of uniView Technologies Corp, said in a statement. "Therefore, developing an advanced Web telephone for multiple applications was the perfect first step for our alliance with Lucent," he said. Under the agreement, uniView will drive the development, delivery and licensing of the Web telephone and related Internet service support, the company said. Lucent will provide its Web telephone reference design and operating system for incorporation into the new platform and also will provide an additional targeted customer base for marketing and licensing efforts, uniView said.
