Rockwell Next Gen Cable Modems To Ship This Year Newsbytes By the year 2000, some 40 million US homes will be able to receive Internet access through a cable provider. Rockwell says it is ready to deliver complete chipsets for today's cable modems and next generation cable modems which are developing at a speed of one new version every six months. Early adopters of cable modems can expect to pay approximately $300 for an external modem based on Rockwell's newest chipset developed compliant with the Multimedia Cable Network System (MCNS) consortium. The first models will appear on retail shelves before the end of this year. Rather than pay an Internet service provider (ISP) for unlimited access, users will pay their cable companies a fee in the range of $40 per month over an existing cable TV access fee. The additional charge will cover unlimited access to the Internet and World Wide Web. What can users expect from a cable modem. "Theoretically, you can reach speeds up to 1,000 times faster than today's 56 kilobit technologies," added Kshatri. "But early models will provide about one megabit per second (Mbps) which is fairly decent. The next generation which we expect to see early next year will reach into the 3-8 megabit per second range where you can see video at 30 frames per second (comparable to television viewing)." currents.net o~~~ O
