They will govern radio and television stations, coaxial cables, even the operations of power networks.

Va., Nashville, Greensboro and Charlotte, N.C., Jacksonville, Atlanta and Birmingham. Moving westward, the net will pick up Indianapolis, Rock Island, Ill., Davenport and Ames, Iowa, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City. California's TV stations can join the national net late in 1951, when the final link between Omaha and San Francisco is completed...
