A few early nuggets I've found that completely describe individual claims. Some of their bibliographies reference work going back into the sixties! Can't wait to dig those up as well!!!

Within the introduction (3rd paragraph):
It is in this historical context that the development in the last decade of an interactive picture system called videotex took place [2].[3].
This new system does not represent revolutionary concepts in
communication. Rather, it must be seen as the result of the maturation and the coming together of various disciplines and technologies. In essence videotex provides real-time access to information, which is represented in forms that are displayable on a regular television screen or other relatively low-cost display terminals."

"Videotex is the generic name used to describe electronic systems that use a modified TV set or PC to display information based on any one or more of the following stream: Text, Graphics, Video and Audio."
