"...but it also emulates HFC to some extent, because they are using RF modulation (FM, I believe) on glass to support NTSC video (I think they are using Optical Solutions Inc. wares, but I'm not absolutely sure at this stage).....Yes, those, too, are doing HFC emulation, and I don't consider them to be a part of the next generation FTTH unless they come out with something that more fully exploits the potentials of the technology. At the present time they are merely substituting the coax portion with glass..." Frank- Thanks for the comments above. Not being a telecom engineer, this is all news to me as of your post. I hadn't realized the importance of legacy in the delivery technology until recently. That's why I was stunned at WINfirst confession they were building a parallel HFC plant up against their FTTH plant. Now it's all making more sense. -MikeM(From Florida)
