They both attempt to solve the "last room" problem, which is that you have 100 Mbit+ available at the NID, but the telcos don't want to add the expense of running ethernet cabling in the house to make it usable to the subscriber. | |

| Re: When? said by LostInWoods  :MoCA and HPNA are for data transport, not broadcast video. Not wholly true, since video is moving to IPTV which is data the same as any other data. AT&T are currently using IPTV instead of broadcast for all Project Lightspeed video, and while Verizon only currently use IPTV for VOD, that will change.
Verizon have been using MoCA for IPTV video data since day-one of FiOS TV. They are now starting to use it also to avoid internal Cat 5e wiring which is what the quoted news item was referring to. Both uses can coexist meaning that an entire data and video installation can be done using coax and wireless, without needing any Cat 5e. | |

US | I guess you don't know what MOCA is, and you didn't read the story.
