My recollection is rather foggy now, but a couple of months ago
I read an article somewhere that said that NPR (or was it PBS?)
was going to be getting into the video text biz,
by allocating some of their transponder(s?) to the activity
and setting up a franchise arrangement
whereby entrepreneurs could get the receiving and
and fan it out from there.
Perhaps whoever is masterminding this effort
should hear the suggestion that initiated this particular discussion.
Can anybody expand on or at least confirm what I read?
