The document filed by the CSC requested a public hearing/inquiry on the monopolistic business practices of General Instrument Corporation and the distribution and sale to consumers by the General Instrument division of Forstmann Little Corporation of a defective descrambling product which is used by consumers and cable operators to unscramble programming delivered over satellite. As a research and development firm which has spent the past three years developing a universal scrambling system designed to run multiple encryption and decryption processes through one single decoder, we submit that General Instrument has deceived the pUblic, the governments of the united States and Canada, television programmers, hollywood producers, satellite and consumer electronic retailers, and the manufacturers of Integrated Receiver Descramblers in the sales and upgrade programs associated with its videocipher II scrambling system, (exhibit A).

Medress, General Instrument Corporation Elizabeth H. Prodromou, M.I.T., Rapporteur __ ·~~~__~_~~____ This session of the MIT Communications Forum brought together three speakers for a discussion of issues related to direct broadcast satellite technology and services. The idea of direct-to-home satellite television has been around for many years, but it exists in America primarily for those who do not connect to a cable system. However, the possiblity of high power satellites, flat receiver dishes as small as a serving tray, 256 ahannels on one bird and HDTV have created new opportunities for communications that could exceed the potential of cable. Most plans involve the first widespread use of digital video as a consumer item, a fundamental change to television. The speakers in this panel will address the broadcasting plans and technical innovations for new approaches to DBS that are slated to go on- the-air as early as next year. Prof. Andrew Lippman of the MIT Medi Laboratory introduced the speakers, with some summary opening remarks on direct broadcast satellite (DBS) technology. He noted that, while the Communications Forum periodically has held discussions on HDTV, today's discussion was somewhat different than those in the past insofar as the discussion will point to the convergence between many programming and technological developments.
