Goodmorning All..Some food for thought..

One plausible way for AOL to gain access in a viable manner would be to buy out CBS and take over their frequency allocations on cable systems. But this would be so disruptive and take so long to achieve from an architectural perspective (time needed to amend HFC, or other fiber-based, system specifications and for modifications to the set top box, etc.) that it wouldn't be a very viable alternative in the end, either. Can AOL afford to wait out such a lengthy metamorphosis of existing cable infrastructures?

These are among the growing list of issues that will accelerate the furtherance of fiber, deeper into the neighborhoods, I feel.
