Faster, faster: Broadband internet access via TV cables can 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 firm 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," said Jukka Rinnevaara, chief executive of Teleste, a small-cap Finnish broadband equipment maker. Teleste, whose rivals include big U.S. firms Scientific Atlanta (SFA) and Cisco Systems (CSCO), plans to begin selling its Ethernet to the Home product early next year. It will give consumers access to 100-megabit speed, the company said. (Wired.com report with content via AP and Reuters)
