DOWVISION. Dow Jones will provide its financial news service over the Internet by mid-year. DowVision will offer full text of the Wall Street Journal, as well as information from other news services. Users will be charged a yet-to-be-determined flat fee. (Wall Street Journal 1/27/94 B12) NEW COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY. An "upstart" company called Digital Compression Technology boasts its new technology will enable 10 channels of video to be sent over existing copper telephone wires. The same technology will compress 20 to 30 channels into the space of one cable TV channel, three times what is currently possible with digital compression. The technology has yet to be demonstrated outside the lab, but the company's chairman likens it to "sending 16 cars through a tunnel side by side, instead of single file, and realigning them at the other end."
