Synopsis de l’éditeur
"His links between cable pioneers and the chain of events that created the enterprise is fresh, and had been subject to speculation and guess work prior to this." William Davie, University of Louisiana at Lafayette "No one has written as compellingly about cable TV than Patrick Parsons in his definitive work on the cable industry, Blue Skies... With a sweeping narrative, replete with detail and explanation, Blue Skies illuminates the complex history of the industry that redefined mass communication in American society." Television Quarterly The German publication Medienwissenschaft, Issue 4, 2008: The review of Patrick Parson's Blue Skies was in German. "Patrick Parsons has written a superb, comprehensive history of cable TV in the United States. Blue Skies is a must read for media historians or anyone else curious about the origins of the local 'cable company.'... Blue Skies is well researched, rich in detail, and told by someone who obviously has been a longtime observer of this industry. He not only knows his subject well, he also has an instinct for telling a good story. Parsons has woven the multilayered history of cable's development into a remarkably workable (and readable) whole... Simply put, Blue Skies is one of the most important media history books to come along in many years. It should occupy a special place in every media historian's library." - The Journal of American History, December 2008 "Patrick Parsons has filled a gap in the history of technology with his comprehensive account of the U.S. Cable-television industry from its inceptions through 2005...One of the book's strengths is its exploration of antecedent technologies and regulatory frameworks that served as models in shaping beliefs about cable's place in the industrial, cultural, and political landscape... Parsons has written a definitive history of cable TV." Business History Review, Summer 2009 Lire la suite...
