Interesting that the US view of digital TV is disappointment.
In the UK digital terrestrial television is standard definition, not
high definition but it offers extensive text services and some degree
of interactivity. It obviously doesn't compare well to the Internet
as an information source in terms of breadth but it would meet most
of the promises in that article.
It also includes some 10's of radio channels (including World Service
- a nod towards the topic here !)
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought North America had used digital
TV to introduce High(er) Definition TV so there was less capacity for
additional services.
The UK is perhaps a quarter of the way through a phased digital
switch over and there seems to be surprisingly little complaint here.
