  Antiope (teletext) at AllExperts
A fundamental difference in technical philosophy between Antiope and Ceefax stemmed from the fact that Antiope was developed by telecommunications engineers, while Ceefax was developed by television engineers.
This resulted in Antiope being a packet-switching system, with variable length packets of data, as might be used on a telephone network.
Antiope has been replaced by the European teletext, which was based on Ceefax.The replacement occurred before 1991 on France 2 andFrance 3 and around 1992 on TF1.

  Teletext - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teletext is widely used across continental Europe and the UK (and was for a short while in the USA), with every major television station having its own teletext service.
Teletext was first demonstrated in the USA in 1978 by American television network CBS, which decided to try both the British Ceefax and French Antiope software for preliminary tryouts for a teletext service using station KMOX (now KMOV) in St. Louis, Missouri as a testing ground.
Teletext services inthe USA like Electra could be received with one of these sets, but these were mostly more expensive higher-end sets offered by Zenith, posibly causing Electra (and American teletext in general) to never catch on with the public.

Teletext information is broadcast in the vertical blanking interval between image frames in a broadcast television signal.
Teletext uses a numbered page metaphor to present its information, all of which is broadcast in sequence; when a viewer keys in a page number, the receiver waits until that information is broadcast again, typically within a few seconds, and retrieves it for display on-screen.

This concept of television text, or "teletext," is unfamiliar to Americans, who only know of "closed captioning." But in the UK and around the world, teletext is a major business sector of broadcasting, supported by advertising.
According to teletext enthusiast and historian Alan Pemberton, in the early Seventies, the BBC was experimenting with subtitles while the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) was exploring programme source identification, both concerns saw value in the using the VBI to carry news and helpful information.
Teletext services have responded to the Web by upgrading their own look and feel, making their teletext pages more weblike with sharper type and some graphic images..

Teletext and videotex as a class of services compete with and could be said to replicate some existing computer-based timesharing services, word processing systems, electronic messaging, and even interactive games.
As with teletext, the decoder may be plugged into the antenna socket or directly wired into the RGB beam circuits.
The significant difference from teletext is that with a videotex system the data is not routinely cycled in a broadcast mode; instead, the individual users access the database as required.

 Text on Text: Starcrossed: The USA and teletext
Teletext is brodcast on VBI(Vertical Blanking Intervel) from what I know of this it is a group of elctron beams which are brodcast to the televison.
Also teletext sets cost alot to make and buy back in then so there was a high possibilty of losing lot of money.
Since Teletext is supported mainly by advertisments, and since advertisers don't like advertising to no-one there was a definite lack of money coming from that corner too.

 Teletext Details, Meaning Teletext Article and Explanation Guide
The BBC started an engineering project in 1970 or 1971 on what would become teletext, after considering ways to display subtitles (known as closed captioning in the US) on a TV.
Following test transmissions in 1973 – 74 the Ceefax and ORACLE systems went live, Development was limited until the first sets with decoders started appearing in 1977, but by 1982 there were two million such sets, and by the mid-80s they were a standard feature of almost every European TV.
In the case of the Ceefax and Oracle systems and their successors in the UK, the teletext signal is transmitted as part of the ordinary analogue TV signal but concealed from view in the VBI ( vertical blanking interval).

In the USA, two forms of "UK-style" teletext were proposed; one worked as the UK system does but broadcasting one line of 32 characters per TV line, the other used a 40 character per line system (as the UK system does), broadcasting part of a line per TV line.

Teletext is a system of transmitting digitally coded data in the vertical blanking interval without disturbing the normal visual and audio information.
Teletext was developed in the early 1970s by engineers at the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) and ITC (then known as IBA), the regulating body of commercial networks in the United Kingdom.
The teletext information itself is digitally encoded in the vertical blanking interval on lines 17 thru 20, and is broadcast along with the normal video signal.

Later on, an official North American standard of teletext, called NABTS (North American Broadcast Teletext Specification) was developed in the early 80's by Norpak, a Canadian company, which provided improved graphic and text capability over WST, but was quite short-lived.
NABTS, however, was adopted for a short while by American TV networks NBC and CBS throughout the early-to-mid 80's, CBS using it for their short-lived ExtraVision teletext service, which premiered after the early Antiope trials by CBS and KNXT.
Zenith 's higher-end televisions (most notably their Digital System 3 line) manufactured throughout the 80's for the USA had WST teletext decoders built-in, as well as Australian company Dick Smith Electronics (DSE) offering through their USA distributors a set-top WST teletext decoder kit.

Given such diversity and the large number of receiver points, a need has appeared for a test tool which is easy to integrate into receiver equipment and which is capable of measuring the quality of reception on the basis of the received data, of monitoring the network, and of displaying its results.
In a terminal equipment for a teletext network, the decoder portion comprises a demodulator and demultiplexer circuit 1 which separates digital data transmitted by the television network from the normal programs in the event that the data is being transmitted over a channel which is also being used for normal programs.
The analyzer synthesizes teletext type images representative of the results obtained, and, on request, causes said images to be displayed on the video screen that would otherwise be displaying the broadcast data in conventional manner.

Teletext was used in the United States in the mid-1980s with relatively little success.
Known as the North American Broadcast Teletext Specification, or NABTS, it was a different standard from World System Teletext (used in most other parts of the world).
Additionally, broadcasters were reluctant to commit large amounts of space in their vertical blanking intervals to a service which was limited in its one-way capabilities, especially at a time when two-way communication was being touted as the wave of the future.
