Re: Not enough bandwidth? Cable is multicast not point to point like IPTV. It's not three people watching the same channel that causes the bandwidth usage, it's three people watching different channels that causes it. With SDV the slots are allocated as people ask for the channel.
I actually see SDV as a pretty good solution. It eliminates 50% of the bandwidth waste. Combine that with DOCSIS 3.0 providing more bandwith and ultimatly putting less people on a node and I think cable has bandwidth for years to come. The question is: are those things cost competive compared to just going pure fiber. |
