FCC Plan Could Allow Cable-TV Firms to Use Education Spectrum.

Jaschik, Scott

Chronicle of Higher Education, v36 n43 pA1,19 Jul 11 1990

The Federal Communications Commission is considering a plan that would allow cable-television to use parts of the broadcast spectrum that has been reserved for educational programing. Cable companies say it is wasteful to reserve limited broadcasting for educational programing if not enough colleges use the frequencies allotted. (MLW)
