Again, I'll disclaim any real knowledge of matters, but I've heard that the VBI market is getting crowded. While teletext has the advantage of being grandfathered, it wouldn't surprise me if new applications for it had to go through hoops to get space allocated, not to mention typical bureaucratic stuff (aren't a lot of the overseas tv stations government run?). You also have to worry about what other people are doing with it already (I've heard of at least one instance where they discovered that the hard way). -- Alan Batie ------ What goes up, must come down. batie@aahz.jf.intel.com \ / Ask any system administrator. +1 503-264-8844 (voice) \ / --unknown D0 D2 39 0E 02 34 D6 B4 \/ 5A 41 21 8F 23 5F 08 9D
