Through the partnerships, 24/7 is able to serve advertisements on televisions where the Pace Micro Technology set-top boxes are employed. 24/7 will serve advertisements to hotel visitors ordering videos on demand provided by Sea Change Technology. The company said it eventually plans to expand its ad serving to home-based interactive television, but would not yet disclose specifics on plans.

Pace Micro Technology employs over 2.5 million digital set-top boxes in the United Kingdom, Latin America, Australia and Asia.
