|  Nice!
That is pretty nice... If it is what I think it is.... If they roll this out so that all public roads with their service available will have wifi, this is a major winner. If this service is only going to be available at like one location per town or popular places, then I don't think it is that great...
Either way, I'm sticking with FIOS. Great service.

| A cablevision technician the other day during an installation told me that Cablevision is trying to go wireless for all their services. Internet, Phone and he even said they are trying to figure out how to have a box at each customer that takes the video and streams it to the cable boxes as opposed to having to use coax to each box for TV service. It sounds far fetched, but I guess if the technology is out there or being developed, it could be a good thing. This sounds like Cablevision is experimenting with this stuff already. If they can get OOL and OV working over this wireless system, then having a wireless device in each customers house to transmit digital video to cable boxes I guess is possible. |

As much as I hate Cablevision due to my many problems I had while I was a OOL customer for 5-7 years, I have to admit that they always seem to be the first to come out with cool new technologies... FIOS is awesome and all, but I don't see them doing this anytime soon... CV still is small enough to be able to think up these things and implement them relatively cheaply and easily compared to the mega corporations that span the entire country like Verizon or Comcast.

A cablevision tech also told me that their network is kinda maxed out at the moment. So iguess they are looking into wirelesss since its probably cheaper then upgraded the network other ways. |

I think he was referring to wireless as a replacement for the in house use of coax for delivery of their services. The existing hybrid coax system would still be used. I think eventually CV will be forced to extend the fiber to the home, but they can probably get another decade or so out of their current HFC system.

Will you stop talking to CV (or Verizon) techs. The only people that know less then us about their current projects and future plans are the techs and phone reps for these companies. |

I'm sticking with Fios too, but if CV offers this wireless at an interesting price-point for non-CV subscribers, I'd take a look at it for general wireless access around the area. |
