We're thinking along the same lines. The problem with distribution is in the last mile and who owns it. Open that up to ubiquity. The headend receives Gbps feeds from the 'bone and there transduces it to broadcast across the neighborhood nodes each of which has broad spectrum ability to receive and send. Each ISP has their frequency as do all the other BB services. The transceiver density is a function of LOS considerations. The devices would sit on top of telephones poles so that coverage is mostly already assured, but fewer devices than poles would be necessary. Individuals are responsible for purchasing home or MDU receivers or their subsets. What is nice about this is that it is cheap to implement for everyone. The MSOs are exceptions unless they can change gears. This idea is both radical and well-known, but I think it is coming. Perpend.
