Still going strong on most Norwegian channels. It's very good for a fast news/weather/stock etc. update, the interface is much faster to use compared to what you get with the web. Modern TVs cache all 999 possible pages, so flipping between pages is instantaneous. With old sets you could end up waiting for about a minute in the worst case. NRK (the Norwegian equivalent to the BBC) have a web based interface: http://nrk.no/tekst-tv/190/ http://nrk.no/tekst-tv/190/

It's the same in Sweden (at least for public service broadcasting SVT). There is an Android app that I use regularly that gives the same user interface as the television screen. Text-TV as it is called here is still very fast in breaking news, as well for relevant though brief news headlines. It is one of the best medium for news still. For example, the news that Sweden was on its way to turn around from 0-4 to 4-4 against Germany in WC qualifiers reached me by the means of Text-TV (the start page said so at 3-4), so I could tune it in and see the 4-4 goal. http://www.svt.se/svttext/web/pages/100.html http://www.svt.se/svttext/web/pages/100.html
