JMS,

How come we only see ISN on B5 and no other network?
Does it indicate the amount of control there is at that time 
on news media. Incidentally, is ISN controlled by the EA govt?

Thanks,
AC

It's the BBC in space!

Hmmm . . . I wonder if they have TV detector vans.

     There are other networks, but the cost of a hyperspace/tachyon link
to places like B5 is prohibitive, so they're fairly local.  ISN has
relays and branches in lots of places.  It would be fair to say that ISN
is taking heat from the EA gov't to portray things a certain way, yes.
Where this leads, we'll have to see.
