Baker thinks that having this content automatically and regularly delivered straight to paper probably will increase usage of the feature. He hasn't decided what else to use the Instant Delivery service for, but he's bullish on the idea. Maryfran Tyler , distribution manager for the site, says the first service USA Today will offer will be a one-page summary of the latest news. So the print-delivered page will include URL addresses for various sections and content available online. When an HTML e-mail message containing a news summary gets read, it contains live links pointing back to the publisher's Web site.
Publishers wishing to use the technology to create delivered content services can do so for free.
The HP technology supports delivery in various formats. The newspaper of the future will be printed in consumers' homes of offices. It will be printed out automatically or on demand, in full color, and contain more personalized content for each user. No longer will publishers have to buy, print and distribute paper. This new product from HP is just another step toward that evolution.
