VisCorp Company Profile- In their Own Words
Over the years there has been much discussion about VisCorp-
its aims, goals, visions of the future and its part in it. Here is
the company profile that was found on the www.vistv.com website
during 1996. When the company changed its name, its past became
hidden.
The Visual Information Service Corp (VIScorp) was founded in
1990 to take advantage of the technological and marketplace
developments now remaking the global communications media industry.
In December 1995, the Company merged with Global Telephone &
Communications, Inc. and VIScorp is now listed on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (VICP).
The Company's mission is to be a world leader providing
easy-to-use and affordable technologies and services that permit
the average television viewer to take advantage of the Internet,
World Wide Web (Web), on-line services and interactive television
(ITV). The Company is pursuing a product-development strategy to
take advantage of current worldwide interest in networked
interactivity by introducing a series of affordable products and
services that connect the standard TV set and the telephone so that
networked interactivity (and especially the Internet) can become a
truly mass-market phenomenon.
VIScorp plans to commence introducing the first of its product
line during the 4th quarter 1996 and, by year-end 1997, introduce
seven (7) products - as well as the supporting interactive
applications and on-line services. This strategy positions VIScorp
at the very center of rapidly emerging interactivity industry - the
Internet, on-line services and ITV.
The communications media industries are pursuing two separate -
if parallel - paths to create the "information superhighway". The
current interactive paradigm can be distinguished between the ITV
strategy (promoted by telephone and cable-television companies) and
the on-line strategy (promoted by computer, telecommunications and
software companies). VIScorp offers an important alternative to
this interactivity paradigm. It starts with the user-friendly TV
set and links the viewer via a standard telephone line to the
Internet, Web and on-line services as well as to a host of enhanced
applications, including an on-line screen speaker-phone and
address-book, fax messaging and interactive games. VIScorp products
offer a means by which TV viewers can bridge the separate worlds of
television, computing and telecommunications. The Companys products
have been designed to transform the current generation TV set - be
it NTSC, PAL or SECAM - into a sophisticated smart ITV center.
