Teletext

"Why teletext failed raises many serious questions. Teletext: Its Promise and Demise is the first book to address this issue in depth. Most importantly, from a strategic planning perspective, it identifies, discusses, and analyzes the conditions that sealed teletext's fate." "But why is it important to know about teletext? Because in many ways teletext was the forerunner of the Internet. For this reason a better understanding of teletext has contemporary relevance. Business, legal, technological, and governmental influences will surely impact the Internet in years to come. Will these forces bring improvements or will they provoke a series of irritants? Or, like teletext, will costs become prohibitive?"--Jacket.
