ACTV
ACTV, Inc. ("ACTV") is both developing innovative, proprietary software technology, and managing relationships with leading programming and distribution entities, that we feel position the Company to capitalize on the opportunities arising from the convergence of the Internet and digital cable TV the broadband cable infrastructure. Looking ahead a couple of years, we believe the commercially interesting impact of broadband digital cable is not going to be driven by higher-definition TVs (bigger, pretty pictures) or multi-casting (500 new channels to surf). It is going to be about delivering a host of enhanced video, telephony and data services into the home that will enrich the home entertainment, computing and communications experience -- such as interactivity with the television, high-speed data and voice telephony, combining video and internet information, viewer-defined programming and advertising, and virtual environments for learning, shopping, gaming, etc. As the cable operators deploy digital technology and digital cable boxes throughout their networks, ACTV stands ready with innovative software content, programming and authoring tools to capitalize on the additional bandwidth in this broadband cable infrastructure.
