On January 19, 1999, The Home Audio/Video Interoperability (HAVI) announced that it will make their technology interoperate with Jini so that HAVI-compliant devices can access Jini-based network services.
- Companies such as Philips, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Xerox, 3Com, Hitachi Ltd., Novell, Sharp, Thomson Multimedia and Toshiba have all signed licensing agreements with Sun Microsystems.
- This will give Jini a tremendous opportunity to establish itself as the dominant form of connectivity in this new area.
