Interactive TV could turn homes into Las Vegas gateways
The Los Angeles Times reports giant backers led by Tele-Communications Inc and NBC back an Interactive Network system to bring off track betting and lottery to 93 million TV homes.

A San Francisco court upheld the patent but the case is on appeal as backers hope interactive TV becomes the killer app of the next century.
