	informitv - Cable television industry support for OCAP deployments
		Leading American cable television operators have announced their current and long-term commitment to the Open Cable Application Platform at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, pledging to roll out deployments over the next three years.
		Time Warner Cable chairman and chief executive Glenn Britt, who is also chairman of CableLabs, said that his company will begin the deployment of OCAP capabilities in headends of cable systems serving five markets — including their largest operation in New York City - with a combined customer base of about 2.5 million consumers.
		The cable companies noted that common standards have always been a benefit to the industry and the consumer, citing the example of the DOCSIS cable modem standard.

	Howstuffworks "How Cable Television Works"
		The earliest cable systems were, in effect, strategically placed antennas with very long cables connecting them to subscribers' television sets.
		According to Bill Wall, technical director for subscriber networks at Scientific-Atlanta, a leading maker of equipment for cable television systems, limitations in these amplifiers were a significant issue for cable system designers in the next three decades.
		Cable got a reputation for not having the best quality picture and for not being reliable." In the late 1970s, cable television would find a solution to the amplifier problem.

		In the 1960s, cable systems expanded to large urban areas, where reception can also be poor, and the cable television industry began introducing its own networks, such as Home Box Office (HBO), founded in 1972, to provide programming exclusively to subscribers.
		Heavily regulated in their early years, cable systems in many instances were required to provide channels for community access programming, and rate increases were controlled by local authorities.
		Cable operators were able to set their own rates until 1992, when complaints about the industry’s monopoly power led to new legislation that gave the Federal Communications Commission the authority to limit rate increases.

	Cable television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Africa, cable TV has had little success, as it is not cost-effective to lay cables in sparsely populated areas, and although so-called "wireless cable" or microwave-based systems are used, "direct-to-home" satellite television is far more popular, especially in South Africa.
		Technically, both cable TV and CATV involve distributing a number of television channels collected at a central location (called a headend) to subscribers within a community by means of a network of optical fibers and/or coaxial cables and broadband amplifiers.

	Cable Networks
		Cable networks are programming services that deliver packages of information or entertainment by satellite to local cable television systems.
		Cable advertising rates are not as high as those for commercial networks such as NBC, ABC, or CBS because audiences are not as large.
		Very few new cable networks were introduced in the mid to late 1980s, in part because many cable systems had filled all their channels and had no room for newcomers.

	About cable television
		Cable systems typically transmit their television signal through a combination of fiber optics and coaxial cable-a high capacity "broad band" capable of carrying at least 1,000 times more information than the ordinary copper twisted pair telephone wire and 100 times faster than ISDN (integrated services digital network) phone lines.
		The cable television industry is well-suited to deliver interactive programs and services, because its high-capacity network can move vast quantities of information quickly and can be upgraded to send signals to and from various points.
		Cable in the Classroom, founded in 1989, is the cornerstone of the cable industry's commitment to education.

	How Cable Television is Regulated
		Cable Television is one of the most regulated businesses in the United States, subject to federal statutes, the Federal communications Commission (FCC), some state governments, and substantially all local governments.
		Cable systems that have 1,000 or more customers must, upon the appropriate request of a local television station, delete the simultaneous or non-simultaneous network programming of a distant station, when such programming has also been contracted for by the local station on an exclusive basis.
		Cable systems not subject to "effective competition" must permit customers to purchase video programming that is offered on a per-channel or a per-event basis without the necessity of subscribing to any tier or service other than the basic service tier, unless the system is technically incapable of doing so.

	Cable TV: Introduction
		Cable television's audiences are not as large or as constant as its boosters depict.
		Inside cable newsrooms, Fox still seems to be trying to build staff (perhaps because, unlike CNN and MSNBC, it is still gaining audience) but, overall, the age of innovation and investment in new kinds of programs or people that characterized cable news is no more.
		Hour after hour, across all parts of the day, cable television news features constant repetition, a narrow news agenda, an obsession with headlines, scanty sourcing and little autonomy for correspondents in the field.
