FOREWORD

This document is a proposed amendment to EIA-608 to insert Internet Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) within the line-21 data system using the Text-2 (T-2) service. These URLs may be used by receiving devices in a variety of ways to associate Internet content with related television broadcast content. It will also serve as an EIA standard.

It is expected that section 1 of this document is read in conjunction with EIA-608 as if it were added to section 1.5 of the latest edition. Further, it is expected that section 3 of this document, and its subsections are read in conjunction with EIA-608 as if it were a new additional section 4.9, and its subsections. This standard was developed under the auspices of the CEMA Engineering R-4.3 Television Data Systems Subcommittee.
