Dow Jones and Co.'s Wall Street Journal signed a 7-yr contract with American Satellite Corp. for the design and construction of earth stations and provision of high-speed communications that would permit a Florida-based WSJ printing plant to receive, via satellite, full printed pages for facsimile reproduction. Full pages would be transmitted, at an average rate of 3 min a page, from WSJ's Massachusetts printing plant to a receiving antenna in Florida. The antenna would connect to printing equipment in the Florida plant, which would transform the communications signal into printed pages again.
