A Rediffusion Dial-a-Program system recently installed in Arnhem, Holland, is the first cable TV system anywhere in the world to include the use of glass fibre to carry a television signal directly into a home. This is a new development on an installation which has been in operation since the beginning of the year using copper cable to 400 homes. Dial-a-Program in Arnhem, developed by Rediffusion and now being operated by Delta Kabel B.V., is the prototype of the ultimate in communications systems. It offers almost unlimited channel capacity. Each home has two direct connections to an exchange which is fed by a primary cable network.
