Re: I seriously doubt
So you're only talking about a cable company? Some cable companies do distribute business class service over fiber to the CPE. It just depend on the service requirements.
The whole point of this discussion is that the CWA stated "patient monitoring" and "medical records" has justifications for why more bandwidth is required. Most scenarios where those requirements exist already have the capability to add capacity to their network connections relatively easily. Even with a residence as a recovery room (yikes, not for me!), monitoring equipment simply doesn't require that much bandwidth. You'd be transmitting relatively small amounts of data for the medical readings....heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, glucose levels, etc.
My mind is very open, I just expect the CWA to make valid arguments when they're attempting to push their agenda. They have failed in this case. |
