| NTT Com today launched DoTV (http://dotv.jp), a portal designed especially for Internet TV. The site is navigated easily with a remote control, unlike sites designed for keyboards. It is the first website viewable with any Internet TV, regardless of make. The site features three unique services: Mobile-Phone Shopping Users can view the shopping sites of Nissen and music retailer Neo Wing, and purchase goods by using their handsets to scan barcodes appearing on the screen. More shopping sites will be added in the future. Channel-Navi TV programs display keywords on the screen, enabling users to click on the word to look it up on the “goo” search engine. Commercial Music Information The names of songs used in commercials appear on the screen after commercials are broadcast. CDs containing the songs are available for purchase through the Neo Wing website. The services are free of charge, and no initial setting or registration is required. |
