Sydney -- 12 June, 2002 -- In what is the first public showing
worldwide, Sydney-based interactive TV solutions provider, itv|world,
today announced it will unveil its innovative new iTV management
system, In|Orbit, in Singapore at BroadcastAsia 2002.

and creating revenues from ITV services of $19.2 billion in 2006
according to recent research1.

for In|Orbit," said Jason Romney, itv|world CEO. "Our presence
at BroadcastAsia 2002 is just one part of our global sales and marketing
activities planned for the coming months."
