[SBE] The future of Broadcasting.

[Edwin Bukont]

What the admin is missing is that while broadband allows more data per instant of time, which may be necessary for video, gaming and the appearance of speed, broadband, especially wireless, is a shared service, one user speaks at a time, it does not allow more users, unless some form of multiplexing is used.  It is the mux that justifies the fiber.  There is no need to extend fiber to every home.  In many instances, a copper/coaxial circuit, per home, brought to an aggregation point, and then ingested to the fiber, is quite sufficient.

Since the 60's all I've heard about Fo was the "last mile" problems. So far in 50 years they still can't seem to solve the "last mile"  of DC to light bandwidth for all.  It always stops when the population density decreases to where it is no longer profitable to build farther.

Never happen.  Makes too much sense.

I like Carl's idea.  Fiber to every home.  And it could be the WPA project of 2010.  

 




 
What America needs is a goal to run one strand of fiber to every home and business in America. It could be the 21st Century CCC or WPA project. Send the out of work to a place and tell them to bring shovels and plan to have them run PVC with pull stings for the fiber. Wire America and lease the fiber out in 5 year chunks. The company that offers the lowest service price gets the contract. The fiber remains the highway of the people and is maintained by the income of the system. This needs to be done and then every home will have service. Why not. We invented the Internet. It was a government project. Why not take it all the way.
