SPONS AGENCY National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. REPORT NO M-73-40 PUB DATE Mar 73 NOTE 62p.; Paper presented at the Seminar on the Promise of Cable and Satellite Communications EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Cable Television; Communication *Computers; Information Needs; Information F zieval; Information Storage; Information Systems; Interaction; *Man Machine systems; *Metropolitan Areas; State of the Art Reviews; *Telecommunication; Urban Areas IDENTIFIERS Broadband Communications; CATV; Wideband Cable ABSTRACT During the present decade cable television (CATV) systems will be franchised in most metropolitan areas of the nation. Previously, CATV has mainly transmitted over-the-air broadcast signals to small communities, but in the urban setting the capabilities of wideband cable (e.g., 30 channels per cable) can be expanded and applied to new communication needs. First, however, CATV must outgrow its identity as a retransmitter and become the medium for delivering a wide range of broadband communications services. Linked with computers, interactive cable systems can serve social, cultural, civic, education, governmental, business and commercial interests. The utility and importance of interactive CATV systems stem from the follcwing characteristics: 1) they are individualized and respond instantly, privately, and economically to the user's needs; 2) they are computerized, offering search and calculation capabilities otherwise not available; 3) they provide unlimited points of entry aLd delivery of information, in addition to controlled storage, access, and retrieval; and 4) they are multimedia, encompassing video, audio, graphics, pictures, and alphanumeric text, and offer the potential of a common carrier between people.

  • Ofcom Censures London Live Over David Icke Interview – Deadline.Pdf
    4/20/2020 Ofcom Censures London Live Over David Icke Interview – Deadline London Real/YouTube The UK’s media regulator Ofcom has censured local TV channel London Live after it broadcast an 80-minute interview with David Icke, in which the notorious conspiracy theorist made baseless claims about coronavirus. On April 8, London Live aired London Real: COVID-19 an edited version of an interview Icke did with YouTube channel London Real in March on the coronavirus crisis. During the exchange with presenter Brian Rose, a largely unchallenged Icke set out his wild theory that the pandemic is part of a plot by technocrats to destroy the global economy and impose mass surveillance on society. The interview prompted 48 complaints and Ofcom launched an urgent investigation into the matter to establish whether London Live broke strict broadcasting standards in the UK. Ofcom today has concluded that London Real: COVID-19 represented a “serious” breach of its Broadcasting Code and is now considering sanctions (up to an including a fine) against the broadcaster, which is owned by Russian billionaire Evgeny Lebedev. In its assessment, Ofcom said Icke “was allowed to set out his highly controversial and unsubstantiated views on the coronavirus and the public policy response to it in significant detail with very little challenge or context.” It added Icke’s views “had the potential to undermine confidence in the motives of public authorities for introducing restrictions and therefore discourage viewers from following current official rules around social distancing.” In short, Ofcom concluded that this might have caused “significant harm to viewers,” given the virus has killed more than 16,000 people in the UK and the lockdown currently is the most effective weapon for keeping it in check.
