like to express my opinion pttrely,:
n~cessary subscriber to cable tel'
As a necessary subscriber" I ;m
for me to enjoy all the televIsto
works, I must either subscri6ec
television or buy an antenna,an
I live in an apartment unit ' . .
vision is the only alternative.~'
I caD see no reason w,h,y
cable system would }ower.~~
of both systems. In my lopitiio
benefit the subscribers by to
systems to constantly improv
