"First, I assume you meant "upstream" since there is no contention in the downstream. It is scheduled, but there is no access contention."

ftth and Frank- Bear with me, because I'm barely able to comprehend your current discussion with Frank. So I may not be wording my question just right. But here goes.

When you say, "no contention in the downstream," were you assuming that the model I theoretically proposed upstream(HUGE bandwidth direct to the STB via a specially dedicated 6mhz channel), is in effect?

Maybe a better way to put it is, if the MSO gives us a current cable channel of 6mhz, and uses it to allow us to go out and choose content from the 500 million or so websites out there in WWW land, would that cause a huge downstream contention issue?

Basically I'm trying to figure out if the current, state of the art 750mhz cable plant, can indeed give us a big fat downstream WWW pipe, delivered right to couch potatoes for their viewing pleasure. Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
