For this reason, a cross-industry alliance of companies representing the broadcast and cable networks, consumer electronics and the PC industry formed the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF) in July 1998 to promote an Internet TV standard ATVEF's universal platform means that once a TV signal is digitized and encoded with an Internet protocol, it can be modulated for over-the-air (terrestrial) broadcast, DTH, ADSL (wide-band common telephone lines), cable-TV systems and, in the future cellular phone networks.

Using the ATVEF Advanced Television Enhancement Forum standard, based on HTML, the same technology could be embedded into other devices such as set-top boxes.

As part of an effort to create once and broadcast to all, a group known as the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF), representing cable networks, consumer electronics, broadcast and cable networks, as well as PC industries, was formed earlier this summer to promote an industry standard for Web-based enhanced TV.

ATVEF, which stands for the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum, has defined an interactive standard that allows broadcasters to embed interactive data into their programming.

It also supports commonly used Internet standards such as HTML, Script and Dynamic HTML, as well as all interactive content authored according to the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF) specification.

Device Mosaic also includes an Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF) compliant client.

Santa Barbara Software has completed a license agreement to implement the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF) client specification from Intel Corporation.

ACTV supports open standards and the company's enhanced media technologies are compatible with Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF) specifications, while extending its functionality.
