Raymond, this renders TERN modems obsolete if it flies. It is a LAN environment, takes way most of the electronics in the last mile. TERN uses QPSK on the upstream from what I have read,this is bandwidth inefficient,but the loss of bandwidth is made up for by the signal robustness. Libit uses INCA technology on the upstream which increases the signal,and narrows the channels increasing the capacity. TERN to me is for outdated,old tree and branch coax systems that are very poor in quality. TERN will have a lot to say in poor areas of Europe and Asia,especially Japan. I think Gilder is off the mark on his thesis here. Hiram
