Possibilities and Limitation of Cable TV for Adult Education.
Carlson, Robert
To the extent that educators, local governments, and the public can serve the interests of capitalism and the entrepreneur--and only to that extent--will educators, local governments, and the public have an opportunity for access to privately controlled Cable TV....I would like to encourage educators, instead, to encourage minority groups, municipalities, and other such public interests to struggle for control of the hardware, of the cable systems themselves; to seek to divorce cable TV from the profit motive; to make cable TV a publicly controlled utility that encourages dialogue within and among the various groups that make up the society....Your best hope for continued access to cable TV lies, I think not in asking any conglomerate or Mr. Charlie entrepreneur for free time. Your hope is in community control of a series of compatible local cable systems throughout the United States. (Author/MW)
