In addition, TTv offers ways to deliver large amounts of data to subscribers, including animated store catalogs and information databases and services. Service providers would mail their CDs to subscribers allowing them to interact through the CD and T-NET with the provider. Interactive Shopping and Distance Learning Imagine if your local shopping malls offered a CD that described their stores and merchandise. The local IVDS licensee would lease each interested store an interactive work station tied to the T-NET network. The IVDS licensee would then distribute these CDs to subscribers.
Distance learning is another TTv application.
Students can be tied into the national T-NET network. Each student interacts with an instructional CD packed with all of the data the teacher plans to use in class. The teacher will then get on-line to work with students, take roll, answer questions and give quizzes. Similar scenarios can also be played out in home banking, game playing, health education and patient monitoring, voting and voter registration, selective news and information retrieval. The list of potential applications is endless.
