- According to the 13 July 1992 issue of TELEVISION DIGEST,
- USA Video wants to test a video-on-demand service this fall
- "using one of Southwestern Bell's 2 fiber testbed communities
- outside Dallas." The technology was tested in SW Bell's lab
- in St. Louis in June. A compressed movie can be delivered to
- the home in 3 1/2 minutes using the "equivalent of less than
- 10 standard video channels for rapid delivery."
-
- USA Video has a research operation in Dallas. I'd like to
- learn more about this venture including what SW Bell's "fiber
- testbed communities" are. In addition, I'd like to create a
- current list of such projects and will be glad to share the
- results with comp.dcom.telecom readers.
-
- Please feel free to send email directly to me. The Dallas
- project is of special personal interest as I may be able to
- take a sabbatical there in 1993.
-
- Thanks very much.
