There is a huge difference.
Virtually anyone can receive a terrestrial broadcast if they want to
provision an antenna that meets minimum reception requirements.
In order to receive cable broadcasts one needs to be connected to a
wire that contains the RF spectrum. Perhaps the reason that B&C
differentiates these distribution networks is that a cable system can
also narrowcast (i.e serve sub-markets via individual trunk
networks), and even offer services to individuals such as cable
modems...
