A recent report states that (42% total respondants) consumers rated Local Services - {traffic updates, movie listings, restaurant reviews, the ability to purchase tickets for events and to order food for delivery using your remote} as the highest desired feature for ITV services.

I wonder if companies like AOL or Yahoo would every consider providing a TV centric service to address this market. Of course we're talking about the IPTV space and not a hybrid cable or satellite.

right now most of thoseinvolve din IPTV are too busy just getting the basics together. That kind of interactivity will happen, probably 07/08. I think its already avail in Japan.
