CATV Seen Climbing FCC Agenda Says Burch
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. AP Dean Burch, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, urged an early settlement of the complex issues around cable television and proposed elevating the CATV task force to a full bureau with resources matching the industry's challenges. He spoke at a Rocky Mountain Cable Television Association meeting, noting progress in Congress on a copyright bill could resolve royalty questions. Burch predicted cablecasting would evolve into broadcasting in a new dimension and that broadcast managers may join cablecasting. He stressed public interest over economic disputes and outlined remaining FCC issues including ownership, federal and state responsibilities, technical standards, and using excess cable capacity for common-carrier communications. He warned the industry it must be prepared to take its chances.
