Re: Ummn.. right.
I think whoever from the NCTA that made that comment meant that 94% of U.S. homes that are passed by cable plant have broadband internet service available.
So whoever stated this either misspoke, implied a very important fact, or is just plain misinformed/lying. I lean towards the first. |

Seriously though, would there be any reason that if you got cable TV service that you couldn't get cable internet service? |

Well, I think there are actually services and stations a cable provider needs to put out in order to provide internet on a cable run. Simply having a copper wire doesn't automatically allow it to act as an ISP...until the cable provider has made the investment.
By similar logic, I could also wonder why everyone doesn't have access to DSL...seeing as how nearly every home is phone-wired anyways. |
