Why would a Cable Co. Need to deliver HDTV over DOCSIS? They just do it in a 256 QAM carrier.
MCFLY!!!
That bandwidth will be clogged with dozens of not 100's of regular HDTV feeds by 2006 if the FCC has their way and if I'm not mistaken HD feeds take about the same bandwidth as 6 regular NTSC feeds so no matter what happens, bandwidth will be a premium both for HSI streaming services as well as their regular DCATV/HDCATV services.
All the FCC is requiring is that OTA stations (CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, WB, UPN etc.) must broadcast HDTV. Cable companies will still be able to send analog signals over cable and the same goes for satellite. The only reason the FCC is making broadcast stations switch is that they want the spectrum that they are currently using.
