Pleasantville, NY | I thought it was worth mentioning again...
This is the same sort of "research" Microsoft has other companies do promoting Windows Server as "lower cost" than Linux.

"When we consider the needs of geographically distributed applications such as cellular telephony and WiMAX, the cable industry's fiber network has major advantages," said Michael Tattersall, CEO of Stratsoft. "They have deployed their fiber very deeply across residential geographies with fiber access points serving an average of 500 homes throughout the country. Telco fiber, in contrast, is highly concentrated around commercial corridors and highways and is generally much less dense in residential areas."
This gear would tap cableco fiber, not coax. Since fiber has almost limitless bandwidth, a cable ISP's bandwidth issues should be related to how deep they've run fiber and then how well they manage the coax-to-the-home segment. Adding phone/WiMax back haul to their fiber network should not steal bandwidth from the coax segment. |

I like how microsoft claims that companies saved $x money, and consolidated x servers, and barely mention that this is mainly due to the fact that they just bought new hardware. >
I also loved how they did a test between MSSQL and Oracle on totally different platforms - one AMD, the other an Intel box, one on linux one on windows.... and used those to claim that MSSQL gets better performance...
