Le câble en déroute? - Paris : IIAP, oct./déc. 1987
The 1982 Plan Cable was followed by a period of confusion about the launching of cable TV in France that began in June 1986, thus discouraging the parties involved. Network commissioning delays and broadcasting restrictions caused major financial embarassment to 52 communes and agglomerations with PTT contracts. Direction Générale des Télécommunications has stepped down as sole owner to leave the field open to private enterprise, thereby repealing the principles of public service, equal access, standard charges and network coexistance. The 1982 Plan nonetheless constituted a coherent policy giving Frnce a lead for starting up 'added value services' that combine telecommunications with teledistribution
