Re: lowly schmoe
It won't be able to "compete"? Are you really sure about that?
It's certianly not as future proof as full FTTH, but with a variety of new things coming out for cable (1ghz, DOCSIS 3, MPEG 4, deprecation of analog), cable will be able to hold its own for a really long time. Its pretty amazing to see how far the cablecos have been able to push the old DOCSIS 1.1 standard when provoked by Verizon. There is really a tremendous amount of bandwidth potential on coax. |
