3: “On the web, a single mouse click on a banner ad serves to express interest in the ad, and to navigate to a subsequent page. But for interactive TV advertising, a click or button press on the Remote Control may serve either or both functions depending on context. Typically, several clicks serve to navigate through the sequence of ad overlays, with a final click signifying acceptance of an offer or opt-in. Thus, interactive TV (EBIF) advertising reporting (e.g., AdWidgets) distinguishes between clicks —signifying activity and navigation— and responses —signifying acceptance, or opt-in. In this context, a “response” more closely matches the meaning of a “click through” in the web context.” (Source: FourthWall Media)
