520 _aThis book is written for all those who have a need or a desire to learn about the cable communications industry college students studying communication and communication systems; professionals in cable and the other communication industries seeking a single source of information about all the aspects of cable; citizens and government officials active in franchising, supervision of franchises, and refranchising; investors looking for an overview of this industry that will need substantial new capital in the next few years; producers of programs for cable; and finally, the general reader with an interest in communication. To the general reader, we suggest that cable is a fascinating industry with a potentially significant role to play in human communication. Widespread knowledge of this communication system, still in its formative stages, is probably necessary to the fulfillment of its promise.
