If you want more bandwidth, you can always get it. But it ain't free and it's going to have to be properly administered. In the case of HFC, well, I think we've been over this before, but it's my view that the MSOs continued building out a model that was fashioned after some vague 1994 perceptions which are now rapidly becoming anachronisms. In a perverse kind of way, it's the shortsightedness of the early designs which justifies ATHM's behavior in this situation, not their vision.
Comments welcome.

Frank,

Could you elaborate on this paragraph. Specifically on the limitations of the "vague 1994 model". Are you referring to ATHM's concept of "bringing the data closer to the user" or the last mile configuration?

If you have covered this topic here in the past let me know and I'll look for it. Thanks
