The proposed solution began to gain in popularity and within a short time of its existence has been implemented in 400 hotels and little profitability 60-70% per year. Major technological giants drew attention to the decision and got involved in active development and production. One of the first to develop such devices started the company «Philips» and took an active role in this decision. After extensive tests created the first sample of a television device and open department of hotel TVs production.
