***TeleCruz and Spyglass Provide Internet Technology for
Interactive TV Chip Sets
(January 6)

Spyglass and TeleCruz Technology, developers of single-chip
solution platforms for interactive television, announced that
they have reached a licensing agreement. Per the terms of this
agreement, Spyglass will port Spyglass Device Mosaic, Spyglass
ThinGUI Library and Spyglass Device Mail, to TeleCruz's
CruzerWare software utilizing TC701 and TC702 integrated
circuits.

Spyglass technology will allow TeleCruz to provide Internet
access, Web browsing capabilities and a variety of other
services, including e-commerce with ATVEF, Internet messaging,
and interactive TV content, in a one-chip solution. The chip,
software, and systems form a platform that is the basis of the
next generation of data-ready televisions.

Spyglass Device Mosaic is a full-featured, thin device-based
browser. The technology acts as an application platform - it has
been designed in such a way that core functionality can be
leveraged for multiple applications such as program guides, chat
and email, as well as traditional Web browsing. Even non-Internet
related services, such as on-screen billing or ordering pay-per-
view videos, can be built using the same core Spyglass Device
Mosaic browser technology. Ported to a variety of real-time
operating systems, Spyglass Device Mosaic enables consumer
electronic manufacturers to add Web functionality to products,
cutting development dollars and reducing time-to-market.

TeleCruz's CruzerWare 1.5 software allows consumer electronics
manufacturers to embed interactive services such as Interactive
Programming Guides (IPGs) that can integrate with URL links and
banner advertisements, data over VBI, e-commerce applications,
personalized information access, chat, email and instant
messaging capabilities. The TeleCruz Cruzer7 platform enables
data-ready televisions to provide consumers access to information
services via the Internet, email and messaging utilities with the
simplicity of a standard television set.
