Kaabeltelevisioonivõrgud

kaabeltelevisioon, also known as cable television, is a system for delivering television programs to consumers via radio frequency signals sent through a coaxial cable or fiber optic cable network. This technology originated in the mid-20th century and has evolved significantly over time. Initially, cable television was developed to improve television reception in areas with poor signal quality, such as mountainous regions or remote locations. Early systems often carried only a few local broadcast channels.

Over the decades, cable television systems expanded their offerings to include a wide variety of specialized channels, such as news, sports, entertainment, and educational programming. The development of digital cable technology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries allowed for higher channel capacity, improved picture and sound quality, and the introduction of interactive services like video on demand and high-definition television. Cable television providers typically offer bundled packages that may include internet and telephone services alongside television. The infrastructure for cable television is extensive, often involving underground or aerial cables connecting millions of homes. While traditional cable television remains a significant player in the media landscape, it faces increasing competition from streaming services and other forms of content delivery.
