Mindmeld,

I agree that VOD is happening but what I'm saying is that we don't have the infrastructure to support VOD at HD standards to every house right now. I'm on Comcast here in Seattle and at the best they probably have a system bandwidth of roughly 1Ghz right now.. That's a coaxial hardline system, not fiber and most cable systems in the U.S. are hardline.

So we are at least in my technical way of thinking about two generations of IP equipment away from REAL VOD in system bandwidth.

That hardline at the very least has gotta be ripped out and replaced with Fiber.
