ISP Glossary:
hyperlink - When the radio age took off, AT&T was a big part of it by providinghigh quality lines for the broadcast networks to send shows todifferent city affiliates. Much radio was done live in those days.After WW II, television began to grow at the same time AT&T deployedhigh capacity coaxial cable and microwave transmission media. Theyhad much more bandwidth than pre-war carrier systems and couldaccomodate television signals. For years AT&T carried televisionprograms from the networks to affiliates. In the early years of TV,much of that was live.Now that there are so many satellites, does AT&T still carry TVprograms for the networks? I sense it is easier and cheaper todownload them via satellite. Also, since virtually programs arepre-recorded, I sense that downloads are done in advance allowing forredos if there's a problem (something not possible when done inreal-time).
