Hi Serafino, Great to hear from you. Re. WGAT - it is an ISP over cable TV with the benefits of high bandwidth (128k with analogue, many Megs with digital) and without need for computer..It hopes to use its patented hyperlinking technology with TV networks in the following manner - someone who has WGAT service watches a TV show on their cable TV. He sees an advertisement for a product and hyperlink. He clicks on hyperlink and goes directly from TV show to web site to buy product. Then back to TV show. I would do IATV a disservice if i tried to comment on them as i do not know details - they provide software for interactive tv, including internet access and have great association with John Malone's companies. Beyond that i cannot comment.
