| Oracle Japan, Justsystem Jointly Develop NC Content
|
|
April 30, 1998 (TOKYO) -- Oracle Corp. Japan demonstrated its
NCTV terminal that displays Internet content jointly developed
with Justsystem Corp., a major Japanese software company.
|
The demonstration was made at the Revolution '98 Oracle
Applications NCA seminar in Tokyo.
The NCTV has been designed for home use by adding such features
as a television and data broadcasting functions to Oracle's
Network Computer (NC) terminal for enterprise use.
Acer Inc. of Taiwan will make the device. Several Japanese makers
of home electric appliances are planning to procure NCTVs from
Acer on an OEM basis. The product will be marketed at less than
50,000 yen (US$380) from this autumn.
Oracle Japan is holding talks with Internet service providers
(ISPs) for the development of NCTV content. The pilot NCTV model
at the seminar demonstrated Justsystem's "JustNet" Internet
content with menus modified for the NCTV.
Oracle Japan has not yet decided if the contents shown at the
seminar will become an official version, but it said that five
ISPs are already planning to offer NCTV content by the end of
1998.
