Japan prepares device standards for Internet TV

    The five largest Japanese corporations -  Sony , Matsushita , Sharp , Toshiba , Hitachi , engaged in the manufacture of electronics, together create new standards for devices for receiving Internet TV programs, RIA Novosti reports . According to a Sony representative, the new products will be simpler and more convenient to access video services and multimedia Internet resources than ordinary PCs. Thus, we can conclude that we are talking specifically about technological know-how.

    It is assumed that in the new devices, in order to reduce the risk of virus infection, the Linux operating system will function.

    Partner corporations specifically for new developments have opened the company TV Portal Service Corp. At the same time, Sony and Matsushita own 35% of the shares of this company, the remaining participants - 10% each. The start of sales of equipment is scheduled for next year, but Sony has not yet officially confirmed these dates.
