UK satellite TV operator, BSkyB, have launched a new interactive TV portal called Sky Net. The portal, which is accessed through the phone connection that is incorporated into all of Sky's set-top boxes, currently offers a small selection of the hundreds of third-party Web sites that Sky says have registered for it to date. The sites are provided by traditional Web operators, retailers, non-profit organizations, special interest groups, local governments, and even individuals.
Microsoft CMS and Artemis CMS.RAPID can be used to facilitate the development of Sky Net sites using WTVML (the XML-based content authoring standard for providing IP-based interactive TV services).
