She said the technology
should provide people in the
northwest with some of the
most up-to-date television pro-
gramming from around North
America on everything from
business to health and educa-

Since then companies and in-

“stitutions have been discovering

the ad vantages of satellite-based
training networks to train their
workers. ©

Goodlad said the video
system functions one-way, but
most networks are’ equipped
with two-way audio systems to
