'''Full Service Network''', also known as '''FSN''' was an 18-month trial interactive television service launched by [[Time Warner Inc]]. in [[Orlando, Florida]]. The FSN was active between 1994 and 1997 targeting an initial number of 4,000 households with services that ranged from [[video-on-demand]] to ordering fast food using just the TV remote. At its time, it was dubbed the "most futuristic network introduced so far."<ref name="nyt">{{cite news |last=Andrews |first=Edmund L. |date=December 12, 1994 |title=''Time Warner's 'Time Machine' for Futuristic Video'' |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E3DC1E39F931A25751C1A962958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all |accessdate=May 3, 2010 |work=The New York Times}}</ref>

The trial aimed to study how interactive services would work, as well as their costs and advertising capabilities. It also aimed to find out "what people will want when the equipment that is now so expensive becomes affordable several years down the road."<ref name="nyt" />
