The German TV based sibling's pages were sent in cycles so not an on
demand service. Some decoders cached seen pages, but waiting was part
of that experience. I sometimes played with it when I was bored, but I
would not have missed it if the TVs would have come without it.
The phone based BTX wasn't used by anyone in my neighbourhood and I did
not have much fun with it in modem days.
A "normal BBSe" definitely was more fun.
Maybe for low bandwidth systems (LoRa?) and small displays, something
like this could make sense again?
