If that sounds very 1997, well, so it is…though it does make sense, whichver side of the pond you’re on. In UK, customers of Sky’s proposed free-to-air satellite TV service will have access to thousands of Web-based business and personal home pages under a project codenamed Sky Net, which will be unveiled in the next few months.
The intention is to provide business and consumer content based on a Web-derived programming language developed by Sky.
This Web TV markup language (WTVML) has recently been accredited by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, giving it the status of an open standard available for use by all European digital TV platform operators.
Question: is this WTVML different from WapTV ML Sky is trying to develop as well?
