tho throl blockl ot North capitol Strolt north ot Jottorlon stroot

botwson North CapitOl and Clinton stroets. Tho intorloctions ot
Davenport and Bloomington Streotl with North Capitol stroot aro
included in th, vacation roquolt, but not tho intersoction ot
Capitol and Harkot.
Tho timing ot thil roquost is prompted by tho illllDinont construction

building will be located on tho lamo block 41 OillDoro Hall, jUlt to
tho oalt ot the moat southornly block ot tho propolod mall. w.

It .hould bo no .urpri.e to you or tho Council that an i~odiat.
involtmont on tho ordor ot throo million dollars to conltruot tho

Univorlity i. propo.ing that mall dovolopment conlilt initially ot
t.mporary alonitiol dasignod to croato tho ottoct ot a pode.trian
aroa without tho tull COlt ot tinal dovelopmont. Then, al funding

Dubuque StroOtl wal to the viability and oharacter ot downtown Iowa
city. We look torward to working with you and tho council in
taking the tirat Itopl to roalization ot thil goal. Ploaao let mO

'The orantee [Herltloe Communications) shall uPQrade Its
facilities, equlplllnt and servlce...so that Its network
Is as .dvanced as t~e current stat. of technolooy...wlll
allow. '
ooClty of 10wI City, Code of Ordinances, Sec. l4-67(k)
(1978)
You have deslonated us a committee of two to look Into the 'state-of-the-art'
of cable televls lon, Ind the condit Ion of the 10wI City systemoowlthln the
lel'llS of our franchise. lie have done sa, and offer you these Initial
thouohts.
They are 'Initial thouohts' becluse. by definition, the 'stlte-of-the-art' of
anythlno, especially anything electronic, ch'/I9es constantly.
'State-of-the-art' means that which Is currently possible, the latest devel-
opnents that have bun tested and are mllable In the marketplace. It does
not Include the latest speculations of science fiction lI1'lters, but neither
Is It limited to the technolooy used by . majority of companies.
If the BTC Is to see to It th.t the Iowa City cable system 'Is as advanced as
the current state-of-the-Irt.. .wl\l 11Iow,' It will have to monitor and
report rf9ul.rly throuohout the 'life of the franchise.
\/hat has cable come from, llhere Is It now, and llhere Is It heedlno? \/hat Is
the 'state.of-the-Irt '? -
Cable beoan as a wlY of helping TV Slles persons sell sets to customers Who
could not otherwise oet slonals. At first, cable could, and needed to, carry
no 1I0re than five channels mIX Imum. \/hen 12, and later 20.channel systems
were Instelled, many of the channels were unused.
Over time cable technolOOy, and mllable signals, have made 50 and
IOO.channel systems possible. The FCC required that cable be more than, as a
former FCC Chairman once put It, 'Just another way of haullno around the same
old oarbage': eroo local orloinatlon and community channels would be re-
quired. Then came communication ntellltes, with now over 100 'networks'
available to cable systems,
So, one obvious aspect of the 10WI CHi system that Is not state.of.the.art
Is the 3S.channel limitation. 'State.o -the.art,' as oenerally conceived ,and
, defined, would be a 100.channel system.

Thirty yem aoo cable ~II conceived II a one.~ay system (or del Iverlno dQ\/l\
line an Identical enterllllVl\ent prOCjfallr.llno packaoe to III custllllers. This
stands In stark, aolno contrast to What ~e have accepted IS standard (rom the
telephone Cllllpany (or oyer 75 years: a t~o.~ay clble with. swltchlno ClPI-
blllty thlt permits, today, Iny one o( 150 million phones to connect Itulf
to Iny other In I ~Itter o( seconds.
Two-wlY clble TV Is possible todlY, and lo~a City customers 9.n,r.lly do not
have It. As ,vidence that It Is technolOQlcl\ly possible, even 10wI City
does have a ladest (onn o( 'InstItutional network' -- the capacity to orlol-
nate and recelYe prOQrlilmlno (rllll such places II the ClYlc Center and Old
Brick.
O( course, (ew homeowners Ire Interested In orlolnatlno proorammlnO onto the
cable system (rClll their hone studios. But theymloht be Interested In ,,-
lectlno proorammlnO they wish to see (rom their homes with an upstream slonal
back to the cable CClllpany's 'head end.' And the Senior Center l11ustrates
another Clpablllty with ,conomlc Implications (or Iowa CIty bus Inmes: the
CllllPuttr tennlnal that u~es the cable system to accm the Iowa City L Ibrlry
electronic 'card' catalOQ,' A terminal, similar to that \<tIlch could be In I
hCllle ((or example, consider the mIcrocomputers sane Iowa City hlllllOwnm
already pOllen) permits the Senior Center unr to contact the Library'S
cllllPuter throuoh the cable system, and (Ind blbllOQraphlc references to tht
materials desired,
A two-way cable capability would enable Iowa CIty homeowners to have auto-
matic burolar and (Ire alann systems, Sane hm estimated the savlnos (rClll
such Installations, If done throuohout a cOlll1lunlty, could amount to as much
as one-half the current hlllleowners' elpense (or Insurance.
Which brlnos us to the economics o( the Issue,
The quote at the top o( this document Is. admittedly, not complete. The full
text, with the earlier-omitted lanouaoe underlined, Is:
The grantee shall upgrade Its (acllltles, equipment and service !!
subscribers' demands dictate so that Its network Is as advanced as
the current stlte of technol09Y and reasonlble economic feaslbtllt~
wm allO\l.
The two clauses are not unrelated. That Is to Sly, the company, clearly, Is
not required to give Iowa City a state-o(-the-art system (or free, or without
reoard to reasonable projections o( use, and revenue sufficient to cover
costs .
'It Is wrong to mume that costs are the only consideration, Benefits
(Includlll9 cost savlnosl r:1ust Iho be welohed If costs Ire to have any meen-
lng, And If the (onner outwe Igh the latter I It uems equa Ily clear that the
franchise contemplates the Investment will be made.

\/hat II the economic value to the City and the utility complnln to be able
to reld electric, OIS and water ~eters lutonatlcally, via clble? Whit Is It
worth to the lodl blnks and businesses to be able to eHect funds trlnsfers
electronically vii cable? Hov ~uch would the Clt, sm Olttlll9 bills or
other Information to citizens without the malllno Ind prlntlno casts? Cln I
v.lu. b. put on the benefits of cl11zens votlnQ from home? What would It be
warth to local merchants to be able to advertise a product on cable and have
the vllwer/custemer buy It, on the spot -- via cabl.?
If such urvlm litre mlllbl. Iltllt new businesses IIIOht stlrt up thlt now'
do not exIst? How manl JobS mioht thel provIde? How much would It be warth
to the Unlversltl of Iowa to teech students at hOllle and to allow staff end
teachers to study, do research, and communIcate frem home? ~ much do such
urvlm ,sm all the potentlllly Involved buslnems, InstItutIons, Plrson-
nel and citlZlns In OIS and time as well as traffic conoestlon .nd I r poIlu-
t Ian? Potent III Insurance SlY inos have al ready bun lIentloned. \/hat of
Intra- and Inter-Institutional communIcations vii clbld How much would suCh
communlcltions slve In time, typlno casts, piper Ind 'phone tag' frustration
Ind costs?
From this small selection of examples It seems therl Ire potential benefits
of a two.way Interlctlve Clble system to vlrtullly all lIembers of thIs commu-
nlty..ooverMllntll, buslnm, Institutionll, educltional and the cItizenry,
and last, but certlinly not leist, the cable company.
Thl. belno the case, a 1I0re Inteorlted Ind comprehensIve approlch to studylno
this matter seerns warranted. In addItIon, our use of sone out. Ide expertise
seems equally neeesury. (For example, the University rmntly used a con-
sultlll9 firm for a nearly identical purpose. The fim It uSfd, Sytek, Is one
IS to whIch we are not preplred to make I recommendltlon, or comment, ono way
or the ather.)
'Subscribers' demands' will seldom, if ever, encompass servicls they've never
seen and Clnnot imloine. It may well be up to the BTC Ind City Council to
coordInate the plrtles thlt can benefit from such chanoes and the expertise
to ellborate on the specifiC benefits. lie believe the 'd~and,' once the
benefIts are enumerlted, will follow--and with It the economIc feasibIlity.
The Clble Industry, In oeneral, hIS licked Innovation, Yet, properly con-
ceived, a state-of-the-art cable syste~ for Iowa City can brlno Horltaoe mare
income, not 1m. But, IS the franchise contemplated, the resoonsiblllty far
IdentHylnOI messlno, Ind brinolno those benefits to the people of Iowa
CIty rests wIth us.
