Pay Per View, Security, And Energy Controls Via Cable: The Rippling River Project (1979)
By Clifford B. Schrock, C.B. Schrock and Associates, Inc.
Control of Pay Channels, Security Systems, Energy Controls, and Meter Reading have been talked about or demonstrated on an experimental basis. This paper describes the implementation of an actual CATV system located in Wemme, Oregon to begin operation in early 1979. The system will utilize two-way data communications on the cable to offer each resident a choice of Cable, Premium TV, Security, and Energy Control systems. Metering and load shape reading will be demonstrated in conjunction with the local power company.
