So, while the telcos beat their heads into the wall trying to figure out some way of getting their cooshie monopolies back, I was thinking... Fiber, 100 megabit into homes, mbone, etc etc. Cable company sucks, pots quality sucks, (power sucks but I don't want to put a nuclear generator in - its kinda expensive).. What if I put fiber on the poles, and dropped into people's homes at say, 100 megabit duplex ethernet? Then microwave myself back to the real world to connect to the net... I have no idea what kind of bandwidth I'd be talking for say DSS quality A/V by itself for one channel... It'd need to have a few channels all broadcasting at once and I have no idea what kind of bandwidth that is going to take.. "Yes, I'd like to watch that movie in 1024x768x16.8M.."
