I think Bank-One and OCLC also had some research resources commited to the
early interactive cable project.

I recall we used to have some proto-types of set top boxes with an
interactive cable banking function somewhere in the penthouse. Mid to late
70's - I think we trashed 'em.

Some of the upper management was interested in interactive communicatoin
from homes - but it became obvious that it was difficult to incorporate with
our library based mission.

So our research was based on cable broadband network technology study - but
I remember we had proto-type boxes - which also had a banking sponsor.
