I don't want the public to underwrite delivery technology. I think 
that people desiring to move large video files around should have 
access to the local cable loop, similar to the access they have to 
the local telco loop. Combining  satellite delivery and access to the 
local coaxial loop (the local cable operators), is a plausible method 
of transmitting video for special audiences. Policies exist to 
facilitate this type of non-discriminatory access (Section 612 of the 
Cable Act). All that is missing is effective implementation that would 
follow from the pressure that some constituency will soon exert.
