Re: hmmmm..... As long as the new legislation includes requirements for franchise operators to offer each TV channel ala carte, I'd probably support it.
But wait... if that happened how would so many of the junk channels (like Home Shopping Network, and the 4,296 other filler channels) survive? Oh, that's right, they wouldn't. More bandwidth freed up for HD signals of the good channels.

Trusting the Democrats to fix our economy and give us health care is like trusting the fox with keys to the henhouse, a brand new gas stove, and a pantry full of goodies for side dishes. In the end, all will be dead and nothing but lies will be told. |

| Too bad the hottest CMTSes can only pump out 16 channels up + 16 channels down at this point for DOCSIS (just checked Casa Systems' website yesterday). 640 Mbps each way may sound hot...until you realize that GPON is 2.488 Gbps down and 1.244 Gbps up. So, without bandwidth contention, you could run TWO 32-channel DOCSIS setups over one GPON node. This same GPON node serves at most 64 ustomers. The cable node? 250+. |
