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.
