On October 30, 2007, technology, entertainment and investment company Vulcan, Inc. filed to protect the trademark Backchannel TV in relation to computer hardware and software, and electronic receivers and transmitters “for transmitting, receiving, monitoring, viewing, tracking, storing, securing, converting and processing a combination of digital video, audio, images and text content and data”.
Sounds to Mork like a box and/or service similar to Apple TV or TiVo.
Vulcan, Inc. is the private asset management company of Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. According to the Vulcan Website, “in 1986, Paul Allen envisioned a Wired World - a global broadband network that would interconnect every home, facilitating the convergence of television, computers, the Internet and communications”. This effort suggests an important step for Allen toward realizing that vision.
Mork just hopes that Backchannel TV has a little more success than NetChannel.
