Really? I guess Sacramento wasn't building theirs in 1992/1993 then.. MAN that must have been some good drugs we were all on... 
You've, once again, failed to prove anything other than come here to start a flame war with me as you have for the last 6 months. Bravo!
But, let me educate you on some facts:
Again, Sacramento was building it's hybrid fiber coax system in 1992, 1993.. are they not an incumbant?
Since there are already cable systems using IPTV techology with OnDemand, I guess you are correct.. some people are all talk.. that would be the phone companies. The IP address on my box of 10.130.24.152 isn't an IP? IPTV is IPTV...
Time Warner cable is already working on holding channels out on the edge of the nodes.. there are other MSOs testing standard IPTV services in the labs..
So far, if this is a competition for you, cable TV is actually moving forward MUCH fsater than Telco. Who is the big talked of IPTV and nothing coming of it? That would be AT&T/SBC... seen anything in the last 8 years from them?
I think that you will see once you remove the need to simply flame me in the forums that cable has had many more advances and deployed much more in it's world than telephone has.
If you want to have a conversation, at least be honest about it.
And for the record, a large portion of cable operators turned off their microwave hub trasmitters in lue of the fiber connections back in the early 90s, so that puts it all about 15 years ago... |
