Web News: Super-fast broadband coming via cable?

Lokie · 20-July-05, 05:08 PM

Broadband Internet access via TV cables could reach 100 megabits per second as early as next year--50 times faster than the average broadband speeds now offered to cable TV homes, a Finnish company said Wednesday.

	Similar data transmission speeds are possible over fiber networks, but these cost much more for the operators to build. "This is a cost-efficient technology, as we use the cable TV networks which are already in place," Jukka Rinnevaara, chief executive of small-cap Finnish broadband equipment maker Teleste, told Reuters. Teleste, whose rivals include big U.S. firms Scientific Atlanta and Cisco Systems, said that early next year it will bring to the market its Ethernet-to-the-home product, which will give consumers access to speeds of up to 100mbps.

The next year in networking technology will be intresting. FIOS coming from Verizon this coming from Cable. I think all they will be doing is using multiple channels to send the data.
