4 edits | Great interview with insight to the near future A lot of good information there. It looks like Verizon and Comcast, at least in Southern NJ, are going to be the main players in broadband for both TV and internet access. It looks good for continued speed increases on the internet and a wide variety of TV options for a while. But I doubt any of this competition will result in lower prices - too bad.

| Re: Great interview with insight to the near futur How much bandwidth is required for cable companies to transmit their cable channels and how much bandwidth is Verizon planning on with fiber to match the number of TV stations that cable provides? |

Utica, MI | said by biochemistry:How much bandwidth is required for cable companies to transmit their cable channels It depends on how the network is setup. You have to know whether the system is 450Mhz, 550mhz, 750mhz, or 860mhz. Then you need to find out how many are analog and how many are digital, and whether they are 64QAM digital channels or 256QAM channels. Then crunch the numbers. Last time I played around with some numbers a full 860mhz system could have 5Gbps total capacity pushing though the network at any given time. |

Muni Nothing on FTTH muni broadband.
I don't like the private companies rolling it out little by little , speed increment only matching a competitor.
Way too slow. |

Re: Great interview with insight to the near futur This is the kind of information that brought BBReports to my attention...
The kind of information that gives Marketing nightmares and customers valid information to base their decisions on.
Rock on!

This ignores 'switched video' currently being tested by some MSO's. It should reduce the bandwidth requirements of the cable plant or network - also known as the hybrid fiber coax or HFC. |
