I stand by what I said. National Datacast is the arm of PBS that sells data
time, and has been around for many years longer than ATSC.
As of this date National Datacast is not providing any data services via
ATSC. National Datacast does provide data services via NTSC, both for those
few markets that have enabled Dotcast, and for almost every other PBS
affiliate with vertical interval data for Gemstar/TV Guide EPGs.
And one of the sites listed also states that National Datacast provides data
for Microsoft ActiMates toys. That service was turned off 18 months ago, so
you can see how up to date those web sites actually are.
