Presentation
"What IPTV Will Mean" with Mark Wagnon
Was working on cool real-time translation stuff at Sony until a little
while ago ... but that's another presentation.
The history of interactive TV has been spotty. And IP TV has followed
it and contributed to the concept. It's the commerce piece that's going
to legitimize the idea of interactive TV.
FSTV -- Free Speach TV -- is one of the outgrowths of this area.
[Eventually, the chatter and side comments got too distracting and
Gabe stopped taking notes. We had about 50% presentation, 40% people
interupting and 10% trying to get back on to the subject.]
