Data is Data

What's the difference? You could use a bridge to connect fiber->cat 6 -> triple play switching box (whatever it is called)

I work in an office building in brooklyn. The WAN is Fiber and each floor has 2 or 3 fiber lines connecting to gigabit switches with runs to each cubicle. The phones are digital, but they are on a parallel system. No reason you couldn't put the phones on the same system.

Each cubicle has 2 cat 5 ports (originally token ring) a cat 3 port (abandoned) and two phone jacks.

The video part of the triple play is pushing out several GIGs of data per second.... 860 Mhz of channels = 135 channels at 38 Mbps each = 5.1 Gbps of data.... using a modulated analog carrier signal. Is your GigE or 10G switch going to encode that signal for transport across ethernet?

Plus coax video distribution is well entrenched, common, and cheap. 10G over ethernet in residential applications isn't.

It's cheaper and easier to for Verizon to lay fiber for current services all the way to where they need it vs. rolling a new solution or extra transport segment that may not really perform all that well (i.e. Uverse) without extra years of testing and tweaking.

Beyond that... what's the cost of a GigE or 10G switch vs. the cost of a coax splitter or Scotchlocks... No point in adding an entire extra segment (at most a couple hundred meters long) to a working distribution method.
