Enhanced UK Teletext Moves Towards Still Pictures

The UK teletext system has been a full public service for almost four years, and the specification of the system has remained unaltered. It is expected that by the end of 1980 there will be more than 100 000 teletext receivers in use. There is no doubt that the system rests on a firm technical foundation and the deliberate attempt made to stretch technology at the time the specification was formulated means that the system is giving the highest possible information transfer rate consistent with ruggedness and freedom from errors.
