It's also one reason why BBCi doesn't assign page numbers to individual stories (there are other, more boring reasons as well!) Please do! I find this really interesting, for example News South West is 1670. what happens when we get the interactive streaming of Local TV? -- This email is

To be perfectly honest I do not feel that it would be viable, not until the LocalTV is taken nationally. with DSAT and DTT the main problem is that you currently have 4 different platforms (oops... 5 i mean), Analog Interactive (Ceefax), DTT Interactive (BBCi Freeview), DSAT Interactive (BBCi

How about using page numbers with one and two digits as 'short codes'. Unlike Ceefax where you have to enter a three digit number, you have to press SELECT after entering the number on the digital text services. Am I having a PRESTEL flashback here? You could introduce a 'short code'
