Cable television and its development 1985

This dataset is the result of the second step in a survey with the aim of describing and analyzing the introduction of cable TV in Sweden. During the autumn of 1983 the Swedish Telecommunications Administration (Televerket) put trial networks for cable television into operation in Lund. One of the reasons that Lund was chosen as the first test area was its relatively proximity to continental Europe, a proximity that made it possible for to receive terrestrial TV broadcasts from East and West Germany. Cable transmissions began on October 31st 1983. The survey deals with the media and leisure habits of the Lund respondents before the start of cable transmissions. It also deals with the level of interest in, and willingness to pay for, cable services. The second stage of the survey deals with the same respondents two years after the first data collection and, therefore, two years after the introduction of cable services. The purpose of this study is to map the changes brought about by cable, if any, in a specific population over time.本数据集为一项旨在描述与分析瑞典有线电视普及情况的调研的第二阶段成果。1983年秋，瑞典电信管理局（Televerket）在隆德启动有线电视试验网络的运营。隆德被选为首个试验区域的原因之一，在于其毗邻欧洲大陆的区位优势——这使得当地能够接收东德与西德的地面电视广播信号。有线电视信号传输于1983年10月31日正式启动。本次首轮调研聚焦于有线电视启动前，隆德受访群体的媒体使用与休闲娱乐习惯，同时调查了他们对有线电视服务的感兴趣程度及付费意愿。调研的第二阶段则在首次数据采集的两年后，亦即有线电视服务上线两年后，对同一批受访群体开展回访。本研究的核心目标在于梳理并呈现有线电视为特定人群带来的随时间推移产生的变化（若存在此类影响）。
