Cable receivers including modems should be more than insulated against low power external signals considering the various booming RF mess that is our homes, their RF assemblies insulated so that the only input they take is via the coax.
The alternative is that it's getting into the soft plant via an open tap, unterminated splitter or similar, in which case that open connection will also be leaking downstream signal and will likely be doing bad things to the cable network in terms of RF ingress and micro reflections with or without white space signals. |

Billings, MT | ..but that would also be an FCC violation..
I would like proof that White Spaces would cause interference with a Cable Companies' operations. If they can show actual proof, then I'll go with it.
..and I don't want the "It'll dip into our profits" BS. That's NOT a technical reason. I need one to be satisfied.

I was about to say the same thing and you got to it before I did! Everything is about money and if they have to spend less money on maintenance, maintaining the cable plant. More money in there pockets, of course they are going to fight this kind of thing. If they dont want white space problems run cable out to rural parts if that will ever happen. |
