Fund - for a look into the future, check out IATV. They have the patents for delivering the web on a digital TV platform. When the digital set top boxes are in every home IATV may very well be the "operating system" , much like MSFT provides the OS to the current pc market. They have agreements with the major STB makers which include General Instrument, Scientific Atlanta and Pioneer. This company is at the forefront of the next generation of the web - one that you will access from your television. In addition, they will be offering interactive capabilities such as the ability to choose camera angles during sporting events or concerts and instant replay on demand. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. They will also offer advertisers the ability to target ads to the consumer and the ability of the consumer to make purchases with the click of the remote. The possibilities are staggering.
