From the Paper:

"Communications now offers a multitude of opportunities. As the 21st century becomes the advent of the digital age, international strategies move communications far beyond the computer, and linked media. By combining communications and entertainment companies along with the facilities for broadcast and distribution of films, television, and other media products, the opportunities for a profitable and symbiotic merger makes sense in terms of bottom line income as well as gaining greater consumer acceptance of products- from music, to theme parks, from television programs to motion pictures, from daily newspapers, to business news on the Internet.."
