Stellar One's IBS Summit Keynotes to be Delivered Via Broadband Links From Washington DC's Capitol Hill and Paris

Business Wire, May 24, 1999

The ConnectTV system will bring the rest of the world nearer to your community because end users will be able to take full advantage of these fast connections to gain optimal use of new broadband infrastructure such as Virtual Private Networks and IP multicast.

Stellar One's new ConnectTV network development kit enables systems integrators and service providers to easily brand their products and customize the DHTML graphical user interface to support the bundling and unbundling of services with minimal financial impact. Industry experts agree that the ConnectTV client device is the newest and most exciting development and deployment platform to emerge since the personal computer.

The ConnectTV system represents the culmination of five years of deployment experience around the globe, delivering a rich and rewarding information and entertainment experience to the user without the need to be PC literate. For the service operator, a high degree of functionality is provided without the immediate danger of obsolescence if network type changes in the future from an Ethernet to an ATM or DSL.
