iTV Standard v1.1 Released

Posted by michael on from the convergence dept.

mbstone writes "The iTV Standards Initiative this week announced the release of version 1.1 of its proposed iTV Production Standards, an open XML-schema-based scheme for interactive TV. In other words your set-top box or PC TV card would use the proposed standard to let you click on something displayed on your TV screen, for example, to answer a poll or buy the product featured in a commercial."

    I like things the old way.
    I control my TV and NO ONE knows what I watch. It's MY life and MY privacy.

    I would rather sit in a dark cave than surrender my privacy to ANY organization, corporation, or government and live in thier version of bliss (AKA, click and drool)

    I thought it was still illegal in the Land of Freedom to form a Communist party? Nazis are ok, tho.

    (ironically - or really not particularly - the opposite is true in Canada)
