said by justbits:I think the biggest advantage to DOCSIS 3.0 is that the cable company can either
squeeze more people on the same neighborhood node, or they can sell higher bandwidth on the same neighborhood node. Which do you think they'll choose? They'll probably take the route that just barely gives them a perceived advantage over the telcos product offerings.
I think they will split the difference. Docsis 3.0 will allow them to up the speeds and add a few more subscribes/node. And they will up the speeds to match Verizon Fios wherever they are in competition.
