Wednesday, October 24, 2007Unlike the cable company, which enjoys a long heritage in delivering video over its purpose-built HFC network, the traditional telephone network was designed to deliver an altogether different service: voice.

Sunday, January 15, 2006At the top of my wish list for next year's Consumer Electronics Show is this: the introduction of broadband service across the country that is as up to date as that 103-inch flat-screen monitor just introduced by Panasonic.

Saturday, October 01, 2005A very attractive service can be delivered using 12 Mbps. Each voice stream would consume 64 Kbps or less. A standard NTSC video stream can be provided at 3.5 Mbps (using existing MPEG-2 encoding) with HDTV video requiring 8 Mbps. Most data services today are actually running less than 500 Kbps. Tripling the speed to 1.5 Mbps should result in very satisfied consumers. Putting it all together, 12 Mbps will support 1.5 Mbps of data plus 3 video streams at 3.5 Mbps each, or one HDTV stream at 8.0 Mbps. Thus, leaving 4.0 Mbps for voice services and whatever other uses service providers can think of. An upstream data rate of 1.3 Mbps is adequate for supporting the needs of the voice and data services. read article
