1949 STATEMENT ON THEATER TELEVISION 361
FACTOR 3. INTERCONNECTION AND CO-ORDINATED STANDARDS— The various pickup and distribution channels, both local and long-distance, may require frequent, rapid, and satisfactory interconnection. This procedure inherently involves acceptance and use of co-ordinated standards of equipment performance and operational methods.
FACTOR 4. AVAILABILITY — As theater television operations expand, the correspondingly required pickup and distribution means should keep abreast of such expansion, or even reasonably precede it as a stimulating measure.
FACTOR 5. RESPONSIVENESS TO SPECIAL NEEDS — It is likely that theater television will have numerous special requirements of equipment and operation, discovered as the result of practical operation. The program-carrier organization should -be particularly responsive to such needs and in a prompt and sympathetic fashion.
FACTOR 6. NON ADAPTATION TO OTHER SERVICES AND USERS — In certain cases, a group of services or number of users may come into conflict as to availability, or specifications, of the desired services. In its nature, theater television requires maximum freedom from such limitations and handicaps which, in practice, might otherwise be insurmountable.
FACTOR 7. PROTECTION OF PIONEERS — The theater television organizations which either authorize facilities construction through a firm order for the resulting service, or which themselves sponsor such facilities, seem entitled to the long-term and unrestricted use of such facilities. Pioneering in so complex and costly a field as theater television is not to be expected unless such reasonable protection or recognition is available.
FACTOR 8. COST — The construction and maintenance costs of limited or private carriers must be fully considered in comparison to any proposed rental or the other costs for equivalent service by a common carrier.
CONCLUSIONS — The Society's answer to the six specific questions can be briefly summarized as follows :
1. For a limited nation-wide theater television service, the minimum frequency requirements are three 50-megacycle channels
