Ameritech Gets Cable OK for 6 Cities: Federal regulators cleared the way for the regional telephone company to build cable television-like systems in six Midwestern cities. The systems, which will be separate from Ameritech’s phone networks, will transmit TV programs and other services to a potential audience of 1.3 million. The FCC’s action breaks through a backlog of several dozen requests by telephone companies to provide video services.
