1 edit | Re: Defintely overly optimistic The "mosaic approach" is going to be BS's downfall. The existng "mosaic" of DSL availability and quality is why the already lose so much business to cable providers. Too much guesswork is required to order service. SBC's FTTN project has at least the promise that they would enable service on a neighborhod-by-neighborhood basis.quote:
Voice, video and data over 24 Mbps simultaneously... I'll believe it when I see it... And I'll probably be disappointed.
I'm amused that the "solution" to the HDTV bandwidth problem is to compress the hell out of it. Hello? HDTV is about picture quality. These companies are gearing up to do all of this deployment for a service that's going to be inferior to the existing cable company. What are they thinking? DirecTV, I understand, handling local HDTV channels for the nation is a massive undertaking. But the Bells shouldn't bother deploying a second rate service. Verizon has the right idea. Deploy fiber and get it over with already.
