1999 Western Show: Interactive TV, Part 5

Interactive TV was the buzz going into the 1999 Western Show. In part 5 of this panel, featuring Time Warner Cable’s Michael Adams, AT&T Broadband’s David Rudnick, and CableLabs’ Don Dulchinos, we get into “what the heck is middleware, and how is it different from an operating system?” Also: Why downloadable software into set-tops isn’t scary.
