Abstract :
The Internet provides an interactive mode for information retrieval, but its bandwidth is narrow. TV can provide a broadband service, but usually it is not interactive. In China, CATV (cable television) is very popular and mainly runs in one-way mode. It is expensive to rebuild CATV from one-way to two-way. Using a prefetch system, we can achieve a virtual Internet and virtual two-way communication through CATV
