Abstract:

The report discusses attractive goals for CIU entertainment and news services, and addresses the question of whether the CIU concept is enough--in itself--to realize these goals. In cases where the framework appears insufficient, possible alterations--legislative, economic, and administrative--are discussed. Finally, potential institutional and socila implications of the CIU news and entertainment services are identified, followed by a description of the possible shape of these services in the prototype CIU implementation.
