Testing 1 2 3, Valadimer, Perhaps there is a communications problem!
We have a hold at T-60 minutes, as the Titan IV rocket sits on the Pad
Cold Liquid Nitrogen clouds billow from it's second stage, into the Cool Night night air here at The Cape.
Hold Antigua, Hold Ascension, and all down range sites,
Amati's begins 1997 with Guns blazing, and everyone in it's sights.
Maybe you missed my prior post, and I forgot to add a comment about that same paragraph I commented on before..
Vladimire thanks for keeping us Tuned-In on the latest happening with the FCC, sure helps round out all the other pertinent data flowing through the thread. Keep up the good work!
OK back to work:
" And BTW I think you ignore the fact that the cable modem's baud rate could be so much higher so the sharing by the 50 to a 100 simultaneously connected subscribers becomes irrelevant. And there is no limitation on the distance from the house to CO.>>>>
There is in a sense a distant limitation. The neighbor hubs -From the Fiber to Coax Rack, then as the new coax weaves it way through out the
neighborhood to the Customers, this HUB will have to be small. Shared Cable Modem bandwidth will not allow EXTREAMLY large Hubs. The larger the Hub, the larger the reduction in bandwidth. So distance does not mean much when it comes to this battle.
As to which will be the fastest, in the battle of ADSL Transceivers Vs Cable's HFC, it may depend on the size of the Neighborhood Hub.
HEY TWC! Will I get 30Mbps? 10? 6?
Isn't NET bandwidth shared with Multiple Broadcast Signals?
As you increase the number of channels will this slow my Internet Access Speed?
Do I always have a HOTLINE on the NET, or do I have to connect each time?
Will HDTV Require More or less Bandwidth?
Anyone knowing the answers please speak up.
It's beginning to sound like the Telco's will be further ahead as they bring Fiber To The Neighborhood (FTTN).
VDSL with speeds of 60Mbps @ 1000ft & 12Mbps @ 6000ft, allowing Multiple Broadcast/HDTV signals, into your Home, Office or Rice Hut with multiple outlets already installed.
By the way VZ - How many offices have a cable connection?
How many cable connections are installed at everyone's cubicle or desk ? >>>>> POTS is HOTS<<<<<<<<<<<
Usually Big Business helps bring emerging technologies into the market, which helps to reduce cost and, spur growth before the consumers get the new toy's. But with Mega Bit Internet Access Consumer Demand being a driving force, to the Race For Profits, ADSL technology will provide the cash needed to stretch fiber a little closer to the home which provides the needed bandwidth for VDSL to flourish to a Much Larger Cash Market than ADSL. Leaving the Spiders Web of (Costly to Replace) POTS Lines extending to each consumer in place. Bussiness will help bring cost down quicker but it will all happen very fast, as DSL begins moving at Warp Speed and Companies can't wait to hook you up. (See my next post for further reference an these points)
VDSL will take off first in places like Hong Kong, where Fiber is already closer to the customer, Singapore is another.
NEC's U.S. Goal is VDSL when the time is right, and will probably begin with the current pockets where fiber is close enough.
Again there are 650 - 700 million POTS lines in the world. How Many Cable?
I'll be generous 200 million, I'd guess-ta-mate 130 million.
How many people will be On-Line or using megabit data access in some form by 2001? 2010?
Internet traffic is currently doubling every 6 months.(Stat from Cisco Kid)
If a massive Cable to HFC replacement started today, how long would it take?
Now you better start adding new customers to catch up. And installation into multiple access ports around a home is
expensive, even if they find Cable Installations Crews that will work at a minimum wage.
If Bandwidth is a Race, I would not want to be in the Cable Business.
With all the Money in this Race, I think it would be more likely to see the Telcos end up owning the Current Cable Infrastructure
in the END, of course not before some of the cable companies upgrade part of it first, thus leaving a small portion of the cost of replacement for the Telcos.
That's where I currently think Cable Industry is headed, unless the Telco's decide to use those bnadwidth profits towards entertainment partnerships and buyouts.
But then again, who am I to try to figure it all out?
I just run out Light the Fuse on the Space Shuttle, and other things that go Boom in the night around the Space Coast.
As many here on this thread have already proven, it does not take a Rocket Scientist to figure out where DSL is going.
