Abstract
Early in 1978 the Manitoba Telephone System announced its intention to proceed with the construction of a bi-directional coaxial cable intercity transmission network for the initial purpose of delivering television and FM broadcast signals to newly licensed CATV operators in more than twenty communities throughout southern Manitoba. This facility would provide a multi-purpose, user-shared "electronic highway" for the transmission of television, radio, data and new broadband tele-communications services.
