Sony CEO Outlines Vision for Networked World

Found a press release about Nobuyuki Idei’s speech yesterday at the Comdex..
Some of it:
"Sony will be a driving force in this new broadband era," Idei said. "We have the dynamic digital content the network demands and the key hardware platforms or gateways to manage it."
In his comments, he pinpointed three such platforms -- digital TVs, set-top boxes and other devices linked within home networks; mobile computing and imaging devices; and the PlayStation 2 videogame entertainment system.

Sony's concept for such an environment, said Idei, may be realized through its 1-1-1 project, in which the company plans by 2001 to develop a system with one remote control for all home devices, connected through one cable -- the i.LINK(R) digital interface.
It may also be realized through the much anticipated PlayStation 2, which will serve not only as an entertainment platform, but potentially as an in-home portal for broadband networks and a platform for digital content creation."
