Frank Coluccio has posited a very interesting question, on a possible discontinuous innovation, which may be of interest around here:

Message 13841818

snip------
The node is FiberPath's patented Home Universal Demarcation Point (HUDP), which converts the energy from fiber optic light signals
into electrical signals needed for telephones, televisions and data modems. With the HUDP, resident subscribers can receive up to four
telephone lines, up to 80 analog CATV channels plus digital CATV, and up to 10 Mbps high-speed data scalable in 64 Kbps increments.
--------end snip

Frank asks, "Is this for real?"

To emphasize: This would eliminate the need for multiple (copper) wires coming into the house. (1) Telephone lines, (2) Power lines, and (3) Coaxial/CATV lines would all be able to be replaced by a single glass fiber, and at the same time the amount of data that would be available through that fiber would multiply from what is available today.

Comments, anyone?

Best,
JS
