We've been here I think but...... Can someone direct me to where I can understand Worldgate is not a competitor? Or is? Sure sounds similar WorldGate Combines The Best Of Cable Television And Direct Marketing To Revolutionize TV Viewing And Advertising. Channel HyperLinkingSM is a proprietary WorldGate technology that lets you go instantly (5 seconds or less) to Web sites that relate to the content you're watching. All it takes is one touch of a button on the cable remote or a wireless keyboard supplied by the cable operator. Unlike conventional set-top appliances, you don't have to choose between TV and the Internet, nor is a phone line required for online access. With the WorldGateSM service, both the television and the Internet are ON at the same time. Because this technology merges programming with related Web sites, the viewer can move to the Internet without ever having to type complex Web addresses or waiting several minutes to establish a phone connection. Imagine that you're watching an ABC daytime soap opera. Just click, and you're at a companion Web site, where you'll find daily recaps of your favorite show, previews, message boards, games and contests. What if you're tracking a storm on The Weather Channel? You can click instantly to go to the Weather Channel Web site for details about local conditions, protection, evacuation and first-aid.
