Abstract

The larger West European countries, in particular France, the UK and FR Germany, have launched plans for setting up wider cable TV networks. It appears, however, that they will not achieve the high penetration levels reached in some of the smaller countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. This article describes the phases involved in cable TV development, and analyses how the European allocation of broadcasting channels has led to the use of relatively few channels per country, which are available nationwide. The cabling experience in the smaller countries is examined, and then the cabling plans of France, the UK and FR Germany are surveyed and assessed.
