Telephone and cable companies: Rivals or partners in video distribution?

Walter S. Baer

Telecommunications Policy, 1984, vol. 8, issue 4, 271-289

Abstract: This paper examines the evolving relationships between telephone and cable companies in light of changes in video distribution technologies, costs and regulations. It covers the technological requirements for multichannel video transmission, telco plans for local video distribution and the prospects for hybrid cable/telco services. Competition between the two industries in the USA seems likely in the 1990s.
