Saint Louis, MO | 30 years for deployment? Let me guess, these analysts are the same ones that told us to invest in the inflated internet-companies of years past (bef. April 2000)...
FTTH, FTTB, FTTC will happen much sooner; as the current trend/buzz points out, the munis can accelerate the process directly by lighting up their network and provide bundled cableTV/BB connections (as primitive as the services may be, such innovations are gaining momentum).

One idea came to mind when going over the various web sites, pdf's, business plans I've read...
A transient form can be in bringing FTTC, then relaying the signal via 802.11x over the neighborhood; Maybe that can accelerate true broadband acceptance, keep cost low, and provide a platform for start ups to design and provide true broadband applications...
My 2 cents... |
