Ph.D. Thesis CTI Ph.D. Series. No. 6 Converging Information and Communication Systems - The Case of Television and Computers Doctoral thesis Alexander Gorm Oest Center for Tele-Information Technical University of Denmark Supervisor: Director, Professor Knud Erik Skouby Funding: DTU grant by the Society, Planning and Technology Ph.D. programme1. Kgs. Lyngby April 2003 1 During the project, this programme has been closed, and the project is now under the Electronics and Communications Ph.D. programme. Preface When I started this Ph.D. project in early 1998, the convergence of electronic information and communication was regarded as a fairly narrow and easily defined research area. During the project, the area has grown tremendously – partly because the ongoing development has made convergence increasingly topical, partly as my studies into the matter broadened my insight and suggested a multitude of perspectives and focus areas. Because of the ongoing development, the situation has changed from back when I started. New phenomena have emerged, and ideas, which back in 1998 seemed like science fiction, have become reality. This has made the project a demanding task to undertake. It has been necessary to be constantly aware of new developments in order to keep the research on par with – and hopefully to some extent ahead of - the real world. While at moments quite demanding, it has been a tremendous experience to actually be in the middle of the process subject to investigation. This circumstance has – in combination with the technical emphasis of this work – made it a pleasurable necessity to achieve insight and hands-on experience in the contemporary workings of the converging sectors of television and computer/networking. I would like to express my thanks to my supervisor, Professor Knud Erik Skouby, Director of CTI for guiding me securely through the lengthy process of the accomplishment of this project, and for providing a rich and inspiring academic and physical framework for my research. The latter is very much due to the employees at CTI and Siemens, Milano – where I had an external research stay - who deserve my gratitude for having been such stimulating and helpful colleagues.

Thus, this paper is designed to familiarize local decision makers with the technological aspects of cable communications, to isolate specific questions which local officials must consider as they plan for CATV in their communities, and to note and explain options available to franchising authorities in dealing with those questions. Section One of the report describes cable technology past, present and future; the second section considers issues involved in systems design technical performance standard, and the implementation of future technology.

Public Broadcasting and the Crisis of Corporate Governance Abstract Throughout the world, the future of public service broadcasting is in doubt. Partly this is a crisis of technology and its challenges to the prior order. Partly this is a crisis of definition and ole.r And partly, this is a crisis of economic organization: the capacity of a sector, because of its culture or its tradition of management, to respond to the needs and opportunities of the moment. There is widely available literature on the relationship between responsiveness and the structure of for-profit corporations, but precious little on the application of governance arguments to the public and non-profit foundation sector. The argument of this Essay, however, is that for public broadcasting to flourish, for new technologies ot provide opportunities for substantial growth in impact, it may be necessary to transform public broadcasters.
