-
- This is a little off of the videotelephone question, but: Video
- Jukebox Network uses 900 numbers in conjunction with cable tv
- broadcast to allow subscribers to order music videos using a 900
- number. Conceivably, other video services could be offered as well.
-
- What I want to know is how they make sure that only the person who
- dialed the 900 number gets the video? Or do they just broadcast to
- everybody?
