 FastWeb, the first company worldwide to launch IPTV over a decade ago in 2000, has today announced a new advertising and marketing service which will allow Italian advertisers to communicate and interact with FastWebTV households directly on the TV screen with a wide arrange of new interactive formats. Sales of the new TV ad format to advertisers will be managed by WebAds.
