The present invention relates to a real-time service system and method
using an interactive data communication for implementing a high quality
real time interactive service of a DVD class for various contents with by

operating device installed by a predetermined region unit and connected
to the plurality of digital set-top boxes of the users in a corresponding
region via a telephone line of the VDSL for supplying the service
contents required at a corresponding set-top box in real time by the
interactive data communication with an arbitrary digital set-top box; and
a service providing device for storing various service contents received
from a contents providing device and for supplying the corresponding
service contents to a corresponding system operating device in real time
in response to a service content request from the system operating device
inputted through the Internet. It can overcome the limit of a
conventional Internet network in speed by employing VDSL transmission
method through a system operating device of a system operator as a
