Waarschijnlijk iets tussen de twee, doch met de positieve punten van beide! Een eerste grote uitdaging ook, waarin je verplicht wordt om je veilige haven te verlaten, je eigen weg te zoeken en je eigen interpretatie en inschatting te geven aan die enorme hoeveelheid informatie en ideeën die op je afkomt. Het is enorm wat ik in de voorbije jaren heb bijgeleerd, niet alleen op professioneel vlak! Ik ben veranderd, ja natuurlijk, uiteraard, wat wil je ook? Ik ben wat volwassener geworden, heb een beetje meer levenswijsheid, en ervaringen om in mijn rugzak mee te dragen. Maar de belangrijkste wijsheid die ik meeneem, is het vertrouwen en de steun die ik ontvangen heb van iedereen rondom me, en die dit boek, misschien nog meer dan mijn eigen getokkel, en mijn persoon, zeker meer dan mijn eigen getater, hebben gemaakt tot wat beiden nu zijn. Het zou dus verkeerd zijn om dit boek te starten met een uitgebreide literatuurstudie of een overzicht van de belangrijkste publicaties (geen nood hoor, deze volgen later wel). Wel wil ik graag dit boek starten met iedereen te bedanken die, op een al dan niet directe wijze, heeft bijgedragen aan dit werk, ook diegenen die ik mogelijks zou vergeten zijn! Voor een perfecte begeleiding en eindeloos geduld. Dank je wel Sofie, voor de kans, de steeds zinvolle commentaren, de steun en de leuke babbels. Voor deze innoverende omgeving en enorme kans. Dank u wel, Piet en Mario, voor de uitdaging en het vertrouwen een doctoraat te mogen starten. Dank ook aan Didier, om die uitdaging steeds een nieuwe duw te geven door exact de juiste vragen te stellen. Dank ook aan het agentschap voor Innovatie door Wetenschap en Technologie (IWT), voor het toekennen van mijn persoonlijke beurs. ii Voor de gerichte vragen en de tijd te nemen om dit boek te doorworstelen. Bedankt Reinhard, ook voor de vele discussies en nuttige input die hieraan vooraf gingen. Bedankt ook prof. El-Houssaine Aghezzaf, voor mijn masteropleiding en de ietwat lastigere vraag. Thanks to prof. Miquel Oliver, for the interesting questions and for travelling here especially for my defense. Bedankt ook aan de voorzitter, prof. Rik Van Landeghem, om alles in goede banen te leiden. Voor de diversiteit in de TE-groep, die mijn perspectief steeds breed hield. Bedankt Koen, voor de stimulerende discussies en je niet aflatende glimlach. Bart, om mijn schrijven steeds met fantastisch detail na te lezen, en me te leren dat deadlines een geografisch begrip zijn. Jan, om me even te laten weten dat ik gemist werd tijdens mijn buitenlands avontuur en de binnenpretjes op chat. Erik, voor de vrolijke noot en soms diepgaande toekomstdiscussies. Mathieu, om het beste voorbeeld te zijn. Simon, voor je analytische kijk en het (iets te ver) opkloppen van de slagroom. Frederic, om me zo vaak te doen glimlachen met alweer een enthousiaste uitspraak. Bram, voor de juiste opmerking op het juiste moment. Jonathan, als hulplijn-uit-de-duizend. Om te bewijzen dat een clubje vrouwen wel kan organiseren. Uiteraard ook voor de gezellige lunches. Bedankt Anna, Jolien, Sofie, Sofie, Femke en Femke. Voor de hulp in één van de vele projecten waaronder ik in een zotte bui mijn schouders zet. Voor de feilloze organisatie van de quiz en de ontelbare gekke-vragen-ideetjes, bedankt Jelle, Joeri, Sofie, Andy, Dries en Eric als streng doch rechtvaardig jurylid. Jonathan, om me in te wijden in het BBQ-team en al de rest om me te ondersteunen en er een gezellige avond van te maken. Alle alternatieve initiatiefnemers en aanwezigen die onze “office events” tot een succes maakten. Floris, om mee te gaan stappen. En bedankt Frederic, Erik en vooral Maarten, voor de extra handen in dat andere project dat Marc en ik nu onze thuis mogen noemen. Voor de lunches, de babbels in de gang of gewoon die vriendelijke hallo. Onmogelijk om hier namen te beginnen opsommen... Voor de administratieve ondersteuning. Maar zoveel meer om een plaats te hebben waar je met al je vragen, soms ook minder werk-gerelateerd, terecht kan. Bedankt Martine en Davinia. Voor de zoveelste onkostennota en financiële vraag. Bedankt Bernadette. iii Voor een propere bureau. Voor het opgewekte “Dag Marlieske” en de toffe babbels in de gang. Sabrina, bedankt. Om me nog steeds binnen te laten, zelfs na mijn duizendste domme vraag. Bedankt Jonathan, Bert en Simon. En Joeri, omdat je toch geen roze laptop-hoes besteld hebt. For introducing me to different cultures, so close to home. Thanks Krishnan, Elizabeth, Selva, Domenico, Sahel, Sachin, Abhishek and Wei. For the incredible summer-during-winter in New Zealand. Thanks Fernando, for the fruitful discussions, the fully-optimized veggie recipes and the time to say a true good morning. Thanks also Catherina, for the running tips and hugs in those days that home really was 18,000 km away. Thanks to Hugo, Yuly, Yamille and Juan, and all those other crazy Colombians, for being like family. Thanks to Julia and Jeffrey, for sharing the “expat experience”. For the fruitful discussions and as fruitful social events. Thanks to all the project partners within OASE and TERRAIN, you definitely helped in shaping this work. Thanks also to Wolter Lemstra, to give me the opportunity to participate in the writing of an actual book. For broadening my research horizon: BEMES, CrossPlanIT, MECaNO and SENCOM. Thanks also to all those other people from other research groups or industry partners, to share your thoughts and discuss ideas and results. Voor de pret-na-het-werk. Bedankt Fre en Senne, voor de leuke etentjes en mega-goeie cocktails. Bedankt ook Elke, voor de babbels, al dan niet tijdens het lopen, en de impulsieve feestjes. Dominique, om als echte ingenieur de barbeque te maken toen hij door zijn pootjes zakte. Bart, om steeds te passeren als er iets moet gedaan worden in huis. Maar ook aan al die anderen – familie, vrienden, buren - die af en toe eens bellen of binnenspringen om hun voeten onder tafel te schuiven of mij uitnodigen hetzelfde te doen. Voor alle leuke babbels en diepgaande gesprekken, voor de feestjes en andere uitspattingen, voor de luie en sportievere samenkomsten, en voor alle steun. Bedankt! Voor de hartelijke ontvangst. Ontzettend bedankt familie Steenbeke, om me op te nemen als een eigen dochter of zus, om steeds geïnteresseerd te zijn in mijn belevenissen en voor alle steun. Bedankt ook aan Camille en kleine para Basil, om gewoon jullie kleine zelf te zijn in deze grote wereld. Om er altijd voor mij te zijn. Dank je mama, voor de quasi-dagelijkse telefoontjes, je nooit aflatende interesse en voor al je steun en opofferingen. iv Papa, ook jij bedankt, voor de droge opmerkingen en het trots-zijn-als-ze-het- niet-ziet. Dapa, voor al die hulp en pakkende gedichtjes. Isabelle, om zo vaak gewoon even te luisteren, zonder oordeel. Eline, omdat je altijd mijn kleine zus zal blijven, ook al kom je nu zoals de echte grote mensen bij ons eten. Stijn, voor de objectieve mening als de vrouwen het weer eens wat te emotioneel bekeken. Lennert, om mij nu de rol van “kleine” toe te bedelen. Elke, voor de duizenden avonturen tijdens het kamer-delen, en ook erna. Katrien, om de perfecte afwisseling te zijn tussen je serieuze en zotte zelf. Emilie, Neal, Hannes, om de familie wat te komen versterken. En Louise, omdat ik af en toe eens naar jouw huis of naar jouw feest mag komen om al mijn zorgen te vergeten! En tot slot dank je Marc, voor ja… alles. De knuffels, de twee-voetjes-op-de-grond, de reizen, je algemene kennis, dat huis, de onvoorwaardelijke steun, de discussies en terechte opmerkingen, het lachen-tot-ik-buikpijn-heb, de impulsieve, maar oh zo goeie ideeën, de ondernemingszin en ambitie, het kritische-wereldburger-zijn, het openstaan voor andere culturen, en al die andere kleine dingen die mijn leven al zo enorm verrijkt hebben!

THE NEW COPYRIGHT ACT AND CABLE TELEVISION-A SIGNAL OF CHANGE By MICHAEL BOTEIN* Cable television has existed for more than a generation, but only now has the cable copyright issue reached a final and legislative reso­ lution. 1 There are at least several reasons for the delay in defining the cable-copyright interface. First, until the last decade, cable-or "com­ munity antenna television" (CA TV)-was a literally low-visibility medium; it merely relayed four or five otherwise unavailable broad­ cast television signals to a few hundred thousand subscribers in otherwise unserved or "white" areas, and had no program origination capability.2 Second, when cable eventually did become an issue, the only available forum was the Federal Communications Commission. Reasonably enough, the Commission then viewed, and to a- great ex­ tent still views, cable mainly in terms of its potential impact on broad­ cast television's advertising revenues, rather than in terms of compen­ sation to copyright holders.

Individual subscribers or groups may only challenge the rates charged to them by a cable service provider before the FCC or before the local franchising authority. Because the plaintiffs here sought relief that necessarily required rate regulation, conduct explicitly proscribed by the Cable Act, summary dismissal of plaintiffs’ state law claims under CR 12(b)(6) was proper. We affirm. FACTS The plaintiffs (collectively Parsons) are Comcast cable television subscribers living in King County’s Greenwood Point and South Cove (annexation area). Following a popular vote, the city of Issaquah annexed those areas effective March 2, 2006.

But in the same moment he lost his hearing. Wolverhampton Express & Star (17 May 1995). 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Hugh Williams was the only survivor of a vessel that sank in the Straits of Dover on 5 December 1660. One hundred and twenty-one years later to the day, another shipping disaster in the same waters claimed the lives of all on board, except a man with the seemingly charmed name of Hugh Williams. On 5 August 1820, when a picnic boat capsized on the Thames, all drowned with the exception of a five-year-old boy—Hugh Williams. Again about one hundred and twenty years later, on 10 July 1940, a British trawler was destroyed by a German mine. Only two men survived, an uncle and nephew, both named Hugh Williams.

AND COMCAST CORP. SEEK FCC CONSENT FOR A PROPOSED TRANSFER OF CONTROL MB DOCKET NO. 02-70 Petitions/Comments due: April 29, 2002 Oppositions/Responses due: May 14, 2002 Beginning on February 28, 2002,1 the Commission received applications requesting consent to transfer to AT&T Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“AT&T Comcast”), control of (1) licenses and authorizations held by the subsidiaries and affiliates of Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and (2) certain licenses and authorizations held by the subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Corp. (“AT&T,” and collectively with Comcast, the “Applicants”) associated with AT&T’s broadband division. These applications were filed pursuant to Sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The proposed transfer of control will result from the spin-off of AT&T Broadband Corp. (“AT&T Broadband”), a holding company for AT&T’s broadband division, to AT&T’s shareholders, and the subsequent merger of AT&T Broadband and Comcast into wholly-owned subsidiaries of AT&T Comcast. After the merger is consummated, existing AT&T shareholders will hold 53 percent of the economic interest and between 54 and 58 percent of the voting interest of AT&T Comcast; existing Comcast shareholders will hold 41 percent of the economic interest and between 3 and 7 percent of the voting interest of AT&T Comcast; and Brian L.

  • A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS of CABLE TELEV'slon ITS IMPACT on Michlgan with ALTERNATIVES for LEGISLAHOH
    A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF CABLE TELEV'SlON ITS IMPACT ON MICHlGAN WITH ALTERNATIVES FOR LEGISLAHOH Thesis for the Degree of M. A. M‘CHIGAN STATE UNWERSITY LAWRENCE D. THOMPSON 1974 ABSTRACT A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF CABLE TELEVISION, ITS IMPACT ON MICHIGAN WITH ALTERNATIVES FOR LEGISLATION BY Lawrence D. Thompson Cable television began some 20 years ago with the simple purpose of providing broadcast signals, but today's cable system has evolved into a highly complex entity. The new unit, the.modern cable and broadband communication system, can carry thirty to fifty television channels, fifty audio signals and hundreds of digital data channels for computers, teletypes, or alarm signals. It is apparent that the enormous two-way and interactive capacity of the cable communication system is just beginning exploration. Cable can thusly become an increasingly significant factor in our lives. It will significantly affect the social, economic, cultural, educational and recreational aspects of our environment. But there are great risks in ~cable development--of technological obsolescence, financial insolvency, consumer disinterest. A general background of cable television in Chapter I and the current state of cable in Michigan in Chapter II provides a basis for the remainder of the report. Lawrence D. Thompson Chapter III attempts to convey a sense of the tremendous possibilities of the medium. Chapter IV discusses the very great financial and political uncertainties and problems for cable's future in Michigan. Chapter V outlines govern— mental framework for cable systems in the states and dis— cusses a number of alternatives toward cable. The report concentrates particularly on cable teler vision systems in Michigan-*the pioneer comprehensive report on cable communications for the state.
