| More data please?
How many of the 1.1 million customers are getting or can get this? How many BUILDINGS are getting this? How much is it costing compared to the other speeds? What type of caps are involved? What type of required hardware is on the user side? Is that 100 Mbps available simultaneously in both direction or is it total or is the upstream less than down stream?

It's a trial, so not many. 140Mbps/120Mbps shared. |

| Not a trial Karl, an apparent done deal. The news release says :
"ARRIS today announced the successful deployment of wideband data service to customers of South Korean MSO Hyundai Communications and Network (HCN), the nation's third- largest cable system operator serving over 1.1 million video customers. The deployment was completed with the aid of ARRIS Korean Value-Added Reseller AJin Techline, and is the second ARRIS FlexPath wideband high-speed data service deployment in Korea." The speeds you mention are not what the real speeds are, just what the technology has done in the lab, and they do not specify if it was simultaneous up/down or one leg at a time.

| Sorry, was thinking of the NTL implementation of ARRIS technology, which is a trial. The company isn't divulging how many of the 1.1 million customers are getting this implementation....much less the real world speeds. Hopefully a North American MSO deploys some of this pre-DOCSIS 3.0 gear so we can have a look.... |

Is that 100 Mbps available simultaneously in both direction or is it total or is the upstream less than down stream? I bet the footprint that would be serviced by this system would be more consistent at attaining it's advertised speed then a DSL system deployed within the same footprint. There is a very limited number of areas with FIOS, and that is because new lines and equipment have to be ran. With this DOCSIS 3.0, no lines are replaced, just a single piece of equipment is added to allow the new capability. This means the deployment of this new technology will be much faster than it would take the telco to deploy fiber.

| Plus the Koreans tend to have a lot more mega high density housing instead of the spread out much lower density like we in the US have. Plus they are building those megaplexes right and left (saw a lot of new 'apartment' construction there), so it is easy to design in the the new technology.

If I understand the ARRIS solution correctly (which I may not as I'm still digesting), this is actually a software upgrade.... |
