WEB BROWSERS TAILORED FOR TV

摘要

Wei Yen has a vision. Someday, TV sets, cellular phones, and other consumer gadgets will ply the Net's World Wide Web. "For the consumer, the Internet should really be like electricity," says Yen, chief executive of Navio Communications Inc., a Netscape Communications Corp. affiliate that is pursuing software for consumer markets. A provocative idea, but not exactly a bolt from the blue. Unlike Netscape- which set out to make the Mosaic browser a ubiquitous product before most folks knew it existed- Navio didn't get to the party first. In fact, Navio is a relative latecomer.
