		Videotex is a system for sending of pages of text to a user in computer form, typically to be displayed on a television.
		Videotex in its broader definition can be used to refer to any such service; including the Internet, bulletin board systems, online service providers and even the arrival/departure displays at an airport.
		Nearly all books and articles from videotex's heyday (the late 1970s and early 1980s) seem to reflect a common assumption that in any given videotex system, there would be a single company that would build and operate the network.

		Videotex is inexpensive, public, remote access to information (in a general sense) by means of modified television sets, computers, and telecommunications links.
		It is difficult to predict the consequences of widespread use of videotex (it may cause substantial reductions in travel and the consumption of energy), but many futurists think that the telecommunications revolution will have social impact equal to that of the agrarian revolution or the industrial revolution...
		In a videotex Utopia, a user could input the name of a subject she wanted to learn, and receive a list of available courseware on that subject along with a description, and evaluations, by experts and by users, of each course.

	Videotex 1985: Educational Applications. ERIC Digest.
		Videotex is a generic term used for any electronic system that can be used to retrieve both print and graphic computer-based information via video display monitors or specially adapted television sets.
		Videotex can be used as an information source, a delivery medium, a distance education manager, or a communication network between any combination of teachers and students.
		The principal drawback to videotex as a delivery medium is the cost; however, the highest costs -- which are incurred in creating a network and linking central computers -- are not borne by the school system.

		In telecommunication, a viewdata is a Videotex implementation, a type of information-retrieval service in which a subscriber can (a) access a remote database via a common carrier channel, (b) request data, and (c) receive requested data on a video display over a separate channel.
		The primary problem was that the systems were simply too slow, operating on 300 baud modems connected to large minicomputers.
		The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) was established on June 26, 1959 as a coordinating body for European state telecommunications and postal organizations.

	Videotex Networking and the American Pioneer
		The term generally used for this mass-market is "videotex" because it reduces the cost of entry into the home by using the most ubiquitous video display device, the television screen, to deliver its service.
		Videotex may not be as efficient at replicating and distributing information as broadcast, but it does provide, for the first time in history, a means of removing the editorial monopoly from feudalists and allowing pioneers to share their own values.
		In the case of videotex, the attempt is to keep feudal control of information by making videotex system ownership imply liability for information transmitted over it.

	Module for use in receiving teletext signal - Patent 4803551
		Thus, the videotex decoder comprises almost the same elements as those comprised by the teletext adaptor, that is, a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a keyboard interface, a keyboard and a display controller.
		As the data so received is of the same type as the videotex data received from the composite data signal input, CPU(3) processes the received data in the same way as for the videotex data and supplies the processed data to a monitor through display controller(9).
		The page information selected by the user is inputted to the videotex decoder through keyboard(7) and then transmitted to the data receiving device(11) through the input/output ports(2') of the videotex decoder and the input/output apparatus(14) of the teletext module for separation of page data wanted by the user from the received teletext data.

		The Failure of Videotex Discussing the exact reasons for videotex’s failure, like discussing videotex itself, is somewhat problematic in that not only do sources vary as to why perhaps videotex failed but many writers refused to believe that videotex had, or could, fail.
		Videotex was slow, at least in the initial American cases, because system owners envisioned high color graphical content but had to deal with the very slow modem technology of the time.

	The Videotex Industry in Québec (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		The videotex does not seem to attract firsthand a family clientele, who would be the preferred targets for mass-marketers.
		It is unlikely that a videotex network can be profitable without having at least 100,000 active subscribers, and for such numbers to occur, it would be necessary to lower user costs radically.
		We must keep in mind that the current commercialization of videotex services in Québec is occurring in a market where many alternatives are available to users looking for specific information: access to many data banks in North America through the use of a microcomputer and a modem is the most important alternative.
