Hello,
I'd like to have more information about X*Press and X*Change.
I received alraidy some edited discussions from july and august but I'd like
to receive more explanation about X*Press itself and the services.
Which subjects are covered?
What computer systems or operating systems are supported?
Is it profitmaking?
Are there problems with the small difference between cables for cabletelevision
and computercable? One cannot use computercables for cabletelevision.
Is there a distribution via satellite?
Do cable companies charge the service?
How many users has X*Press X*Change?
Is there a magazine about X*Press? Or a newsletter? ARe there manuals and boo
ks about it?

I'm asking this because the Dutch government gave networking by cabletelevision
distributors a high priority. Being a journalist I want to write about the ph
enomena. Maybe there is even a way of setting up a European newsagency this wa
y.
Thanks in advance.
