Interactive TV---It is the future

I have been sitting in meetings the last couple of days in San Francisco. For the last 6 months, I have been in the throws of creating an n-tier application architecture for a series of webservices for a large cable company in Atlanta and we have been having a great deal of success.

The services are doing a great job of interacting with a myriad of systems including a 3rd party customer billing system running on an AS/400....argggg. Oracle, Microsoft SqlServer as well as some other homegrown systems. What is really exciting is that many of these services are now going to be consumed by an Interactive TV Systems.

Gang, this is some exciting stuff. Not just what I am working on, but the utter potential. It is already all over Europe and the US is playing catch-up, but the US will catch up (we always do ;) ). Gaming, purchasing, ecommerce...you name it. The whole world is still in the infancy of the mass potential of this market.
