Especially as apparently a whopping 66% of domestic PC users aren't on

the Net - is this really true? Also, it appears ON Digital (the mooks)

are not going be offering web access via their box - they won't be

offering access to Sky Digital's EPG either, but that's another

story...I think it's a bad move on ON Digital not to support the Web,

which is established and has an audience. Something you can't really

say about Digital TV yet.


You might be interested to know that as a digital terrestrial broadcaster,

ONDigital are only be able to provide a one way broadcast service - I think

I'm right in saying that web access isn't possible. The only digital

broadcasters able to offer web access will be the cable people. Sky could in

theory provide two way communication (as they could with analogue) but

beyond pay per view they don't seem too interested.
