Re: Coax in the house That's clever. Most homes (or in cities, apartments) have coax to all rooms that want TV.
It's interesting how much easier it is for the cable companies to provide phone than it is for the phone companies to provide TV. Having a set top box that plugs into existing coax which goes back to a telco-provided "gateway" that does all the video processing would make for a simpler install.

| I'm actually kinda looking forward to IPTV, my new television manual says it is upgradeable later for built in tuners and all sorts of stuff for minimal price, but I bet the price isn't that cheap either to do..so don't think I'll get that done yet lol
But I will probably subscripe to IPTV when it's out..(at least I think so right now) |

That's a solid point and why if the Telco's get this wrong it will really hurt. Comcast's CEO claims they haven't scratched the surface of what their loops can handle.
Another advantage Cable has is that new voice subscribers are brand new revenue. For the Telco's, since their core business is declining, when a new IPTV customer signs up they could just be at break even due to price degradation. Robbing peter to pay Paul so to speak. |
