Comment Re:What's the max bandwidth of coax cable? (Score 1) 341

Comcast needs to move HD to MPEG 4 and that can free up a lot of room / add more HD and down the road get rid of SD channels that are also in HD and put the SD only stuff in MPEG 4 SD. Also maybe some SDV for the part time / overflow feeds.

There are some 1 GHz cable systems (not Comcast) Comcast still has some old 650mhz systems.

what about utility trucks / bucket trucks?

They need to go off road (off road can just be on to the grass / sidewalk next to an road) may need to sit in the middle of a road, be placed the wrong way on a road, etc. And it may be hard to get a auto drive car to do that.

Also based on way some utility's (manly cable) use contractors and subcontractors a special license sounds like a good idea but in real life may not work to well. And they may need to make so they can't use contractors and subcontractors do that work or they may have to make so the utility / cable co has to buy the special licenses for the contractors and subcontractors.

you can download on a laptop and move the files over to your desktop with gameing hardware. Just saying even if disks go away there are ways to get download only media with out needed a good link at the place you want to view it / play it at. Even with steaming movies / tv / etc (other then live) having a buffer is good. But something like this kills that idea and makes so that you need good link 100% of the time you want to play the game. Also hope that you are the only person in the home playing the game at the time if you have download speeds under 20 MEG.

If only we had an better healthcare system that was not loaded with insane markup.
