Cable and wireless orders 100k Pace boxes................... techweb.com Cable & Wireless is exploiting the fact that use of the European cable-modem standard is not mandatory within Europe, unlike most other aspects of the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) family of broadcasting standards. Cable & Wireless has ordered 100,000 digital cable-TV set-top boxes with MCNS cable modems from Pace Micro Technology plc (Saltaire, England). It plans to begin supplying the boxes to subscribers in limited numbers this year, and to go to a full rollout in the first quarter of 1999. A spokesperson for Cable & Wireless said, "From our perspective, the MCNS standard is far more flexible, and it's a de facto industry standard by weight of support." As well as supporting Internet access through the television, the digital box will provide PC users with high-speed access to the Internet via the cable modem and broadband network. The MCNS cable modem will provide a 27-Mbit/second downstream channel and a 10-Mbit/s upstream channel.
