Disney,s ABC is NOT out front with EnhancedTV they simply violated HyperTV patents. Are you sure? The EnhancedTV trial they did with the Fiesta Bowl did not converge the internet with the tv the way IATV does... they had stuff on their website, so people who were logged into their computer could do stuff on the web while watching the game on the tv... required two boxes (Tv and computer) in same room. None of the "enhanced" content showed up on the tv screen. IMO this is A) a really darn clunky way of doing Internet/TV convergence, but B) shows that people want this stuff even if they have to go through a clunky interface to get it. I think people would like it even more if they only had to look at one screen (the TV) to do all the interacting they want. -Mike
