It has become somewhat fashionable to claim the Interactive Television is over
hyped; that vendors, the trade press, and industry pundits have colluded to
deluge us with information about a technology that is barely ready for prime time
not to mention uncertain because of the regulatory situation. With vendors of
all types engaged in a mad rush to announce ITV products, others understandably
want to know who the players are as this nascent market continues to define
itself inspite of the shaky ground it stands on.
This Web Site surveys the major players. If your organization is not listed, if
information regarding your organization has been changed or if your organization
would simply like greater presence through out these pages feel free to contact
