These are excerpts in regard to VTT/TTV from conversation between TINROAD and
Robert Putnam from May/18 2001. Who knows it may finally comes into fruition shortly !
Q: Is VTT/TTV still set to be the big revenue source for EDIG, or will digital music/video surpass it?
VTT/TTV is still expected to be a major revenue source for EDIG, but that is more long term. Robert mentioned that he has seen a "surge" within the industry to gravitate toward voice control and that a lot depends on the outcome of the LHSP situation. He said that when they start to sell off LHSP's technology, there will be a battle for acquisition of it. Robert said that though EDIG remained "IBM-centric", they were working with another voice technology company, and that the voice activated jukebox will be the first example of that collaboration. Digital music and video, along with other applications, will be revenue generators for the near term and beyond.
