Visionradio announces Interactive Internet TV Trial
Hampshire based company Visionradio Limited is to launch a trial of
interactive internet services accessible via broadband connected televisions.
Starting in May 2006, the TV services will explore particular aspects relating
to internet on TV as part of a wider set of community internet initiatives.
Operating under the easy2™ umbrella, the “Access Andover” service trials
focus on local community engagement, offering entertainment, local information,
communication and TV commerce.
Malcolm Stewart, CEO of Visionradio comments: “The aim is to extend
the power and convenience of the internet to the TV. If you can use a TV
remote, you can use the internet. With around a third of UK households not
currently connected, this trial activity is about addressing barriers to
adoption covering cost, simplifying access and improving relevance of content.
And existing users can benefit too as they can bring internet access back
into the living room so the whole family can become engaged in finding some
information on Google or ordering the groceries from Tesco.”
