 PROFILE
OpenTV wants to open up all sorts of new possibilities for television. The company develops software for digital interactive television systems. Its RunTime software allows viewers to surf TV channels, access interactive services (such as shopping, banking, and e-mail), and control camera angles and instant replays during sporting events -- all with a remote control. More than two-third of sales come from customers outside the US. The company's investors and technology partners include AOL Time Warner, EchoStar Communications, and Sun Microsystems. In 2000 OpenTV acquired Internet software and consulting pioneer Spyglass. International pay TV company MIH Limited controls 90% of the company.
