Excellent article Ken, thanks. I liked the way they treated the powering problem. But I must say, that running separate twisted pair to each unit to support voice did surprise me....Making the bold stand against IP Voice is mentionable here, since it seems to fly in the face of conventional wisdom, at least when viewed against the larger players' stated intentions along these lines. Comments on this aspect, Hiram? Anyone? Frank, Totally took me by surprise too! I find it hard to imagine they are stringing copper because of only powering problems. I'm guessing back-up power was only a small part of the problem. My guess is it has something to do with VoIP over an HFC network, not being ready for prime time. They are building this network from scratch, using the state of the art everything, but then they pull a good old, 100 year old technology, twisted copper pair along for the ride for voice only. That's the only thing I can make of it. I found it a little discouraging to read. Just IMHO, MikeM(From Florida)
