About Teleshuttle:

Teleshuttle develops new media and business technologies and provides strategic consulting services for electronic business, media, and connectivity solutions for B2C and B2B markets. Teleshuttle has multiple patent portfolios in development, and commercializes technologies both directly and through strategic partners.

• CoTV™ is currently a primary focus of direct commercialization activity (with strategic partners being sought).  CoTV™ – coactive TV – provides a power assist for the growing trend toward simultaneous, or “coactive,” use of TV and the Web.  CoTV™ creates a powerful new compound medium that fully maintains the best of both (and works with ordinary TVs and PCs) – while riding the trend toward user-centered media multitasking in the wireless, networked home.
• Search: Commercialization efforts are in preparation for a portfolio of issued patents that relate to search (including three patents issued in 2005-2006, with others pending).
• Internet push distribution and software update - In the early 1990s, Teleshuttle developed a patent portfolio that was licensed to BTG International for commercialization.  This portfolio includes seven patents awarded in 1997-2004.  BTG's licensing efforts led to patent infringement suits against Microsoft and Apple. On 3/31/06, BTG announced the sale of these patent rights for $35 million, plus a share of future profits, and that BTG and Teleshuttle would no longer pursue those suits
• Other patent portfolios in development relate to such areas as data exchange for product usage data and ratings, digital media storage management, and The Idea Adoption Agency (communities/marketplaces for open, collaborative development of intellectual property, and advanced methods for collaboration and reputation management).

Consulting clients have included News Corporation/TVGuide, Dow Jones/Telerate, Euro RSCG/MVBMS, HealthScout/RxRemedy, AppliedTheory Communications, and BTG International.

Teleshuttle was founded by Richard Reisman in the early 1990s as an innovative online software/service provider.

President and founder of Teleshuttle Corporation, Richard Reisman is a leader in e-business, interactive media, and information services, with decades of experience.   He has been recognized for work that combines vision with practicality regarding the development and use of new information and media technologies. His media experience includes leading the design and development of News Corp's original TVGuide Online service through market testing in the early '90s, managing development for Baseline (since acquired by The New York Times), and very early involvements in hypermedia, interactive graphics, and online communitees.

Reisman served as founding CTO and Managing Director, Operations and Technology for HealthSCOUT.com, an innovative and fast-growing Web-based B2B2C health information service that attracted strategic investment from InfoSpace at a $160 million valuation in mid-2000.  There, he delivered Web services via syndicated co-brand affiliations with hundreds of Web sites, including CompuServe, Prodigy, Yahoo!, Earthlink, Dr. Koop, iVillage, Snap, iWon, USA Today, Knight-Ridder, Scripps, Physicians Online, and corporate clients, managing a staff of 25+ and budget of $5+ million.

Previously Reisman directed electronic distribution operations for McGraw-Hill / Standard and Poor's, and managed strategy, planning, and operations for a variety of major computer and telecom services at Mobil Corporation and AT&T, starting as a software developer.  He holds an AB from Brown University and an MS from Lehigh University, and serves on the MIT Enterprise Forum of NYC Executive Board.
