Lessons Learned From iTV

The definitive five-year study of iTV consumers

llcd.pngLessons Learned From iTV is the first comprehensive research study of user experiences with interactive TV. It provides both the big picture and the key details of WebTV, the first interactive television service to ever gain a million-user subscriber base, and applies the lessons to the development of broadband iTV services that can be compelling to consumers and profitable to service operators. Lessons Learned From iTV examines the user experience -- who subscribed and why, how they used the service, and what were the elements that made interacting on TV "click" with these mainstream consumers. It also examines the company's product, service, operation and marketing, and points out the brilliant elements that gave it the market that it achieved, and the fundamental mistakes that kept it from success and profitability.
