法国内阁已批准一项决议,即到1986年要使全国多达320000用户安装电缆电视,估计费用为＄162万元。法国政府改变了原来由国家和地方提供电缆和光纤混合网络资金的决定,而代之以对全部用光纤及光器件敷设的网络由政府提供资金。此外,法国政府还宣称,对未来通过电缆网络实施电信和视频应用仍将保持控制,从而排除了私人公司试图开发数据和视频传输的电缆系统的可能性。 The French cabinet has approved a resolution that by 1986 there will be as many as 320,000 users nationwide to install cable television at an estimated cost of $ 1.62 million. The French government changed the original decision of the state and local governments to provide funding for a hybrid network of cables and fiber optics, and was instead financed by the government for the entire network of fiber-optic and optical components. In addition, the French government also declared that future control of telecommunications and video applications over cable networks will remain under control, thereby eliminating the possibility of private companies attempting to develop cable systems for data and video transmission.
