Keep an eye on the MODS....this just in: To: Randy berg (55 ) From: Edward Alves Monday, May 17 1999 10:00AM ET Reply # of 60 I found this on the weekend in the Financial Post. Saturday, May 15, 1999. This article is very interesting and relates to Modern Computer Systems. MEDIA BOOM IN INTERACTIVE TV SEEN. LONDON - More than 67-million-or 25%-of U.S. and European households will have access to interactive television services by 2003, with broadcasters' offerings eclipsing TV-based Internet services, a report by market researcher Datamonitor said. The report, based on interviews with industry executives, concluded that the market for services such as shopping, banking and e-mail through a TV set will be dominated by cable and satellite companies who offer the services together with TV programs instead of by traditional Internet service providers such as America Online. Television dealers associated with the unit, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America Inc., will be able to advertise on CBS. The television industry is under a tight federal deadline to begin broadcasting in HDTV, which transmits signals that provide clearer video quality with sound as sharp as a digital compact disk.
