Pulse~LINK has also tinkered with taking this idea outside of the home and onto cable networks. They had hoped to increase the bandwidth available to cable providers (to the tune of +1 gigabit downstream, 580 megabits upstream per node). We've not heard of any cable operators signing on to the idea, however. Not surprising. Cable companies like to starve their networks of bandwidth. Why increase the bandwidth at each node if the rest of the network can't handle it?
Anything that costs money and doesn't bring in immediate revenue they won't bother to do. |
