ACTV is included as one of GI's "Partners in Technology" with a direct link to the ACTV Web site. In addition, if you search for "actv" on the GI site you'll find a few releases that include ACTV, including the one announcing the partnership.

In addition, don't forget the powerful quotes from David Jensen of Liberty, like "We think this (ACTV) is a...winning entry in the sweepstakes for customer-friendly digital programming."
