Public policy in two-way cable: Difficult issues for a developing technology

Thomas F. Baldwin, Thomas A. Muth and Judith Saxton

Telecommunications Policy, 1979, vol. 3, issue 2, 126-133

Abstract: The technological development of two-way cable communication has advanced rapidly without concurrent public policy development. In an effort to bring the policy issues to light, the authors describe existing US policy in two-way cable communication, identify definitional problems, suggest policies for implementing two-way service, and outline some of the responsibilities of local franchising authorities peculiar to two-way services, particularly in the area of upstream spectrum allocation.
