Re: Most users could care less about infrastructure type You'd be surprised. I've seen (first hand) nodes as small as 100 and as large as 1200. As someone mentioned, the designs and the actual builds run the gamut. Good operators are splitting nodes (physically and logically) like crazy right now getting everything tightened up and ready for FiOS and U-Verse. When they get to 200 homes/node, DOCSIS 3.0, Switched Digital Video and they get analog down to 70 channels, life will be very good indeed. Competition is a wonderful thing. |
