"You can use the mini-fiber node to do some local signaling, enabling very low-cost, very simple media-access protocols, versus having to resolve everything back at the headend," Lu said. "You can utilize some kind of Ethernet off-the-shelf product as the cable modem." Hiram & Thread, I don't understand the part above? How does moving the fiber-coax node, closer to the home eliminate a cable modem? And why did Lu word his comment the way he did. Every cable modem already requires an off-the-shelf Ethernet card. That's how the cable modem is hooked to the computer. Why didn't he just say, "This new idea eliminates the cable modem in the HFC network."? BTW the Salt Lake city trails were discussed upstream on this thread about three weeks ago(?). I think there are some interesting comments regarding the trials, but I can't remember the details and I can't find the posts. Thanks, MikeM(From Florida)
