Re: IMHO.. It's interesting to watch the networks experiment with technology.
NBC released the premieres of a couple of thier shows (Bionic Woman and Chuck) on Time Warner On Demand two weeks early. In High Definition, no less!
I'm no fan of U-verse either (we have 4 HD tuners going and it's barely enough for two of us), but U-verse's pipes are big enough for net-based on-demand video that you are describing. They are just going to need to look at providing a much bigger data pipe. Dividing 25mbps between data and video doesn't quite cut it. 25mbps for data alone, however, will last them a while. Pair bonding is on their roadmap, it won't last them forever, but 50mbps will give the service a lot more headroom. |
