[เทพแห่ง Encoder] FAQ : IPTV is?: In normal digital television MPEG-2, HD video requires around 30Mbit/s of bandwidth, but newer compression technologies (such as MPEG-4 H.264) require only 6-9Mbit/s, which is very achievable over existing DSL infrastructure using ADSL2+ and VDSL2. However, it also requires considerable investment in reception equipment to view (TV screen, decoder etc), which makes it currently prohibitive to deploy.

[IPTV News] IPTV Network: Verizon is expected to be the first of the big four telecommunications companies to make a major launch of Internet-based television, called IPTV. Verizon is building ultra-fast fiber connections to homes in half of the 29 states where it offers telephone service, and plans to reach 3 million homes when it launches its TV service.

[Network and Telecom Strategies Blog] Network and Telecom Strategies Blog: Tough Decision: The 2nd problem is that Verizon was very short-sighted in deploying FIOS TV, and didn’t plan for enough “cable” channel capacity. Their single optical wavelength that delivers all their TV channels actually uses old-fashioned cable TV technology, and Verizon needs to upgrade all of the equipment in its central offices to make room for more channels.

[SCRIPT-ed] Net Neutrality and Consumer Access to Content: Competition between ISPs is present in some metropolitan and suburban networks, but is limited by both geographical scale and feature-price scope.56 Note that where only retail resellers use a broadband line from the incumbent, the degree of price and feature competition is very small given that wholesale prices and bit-rates are set by the incumbent. It is therefore an easy generalisation to claim greater broadband competition in Europe, when for infrastructure (where real investment is made and real innovation in service is possible) this may not be the case either currently or in the near future.57 In any case, it is a very untypical, highly sophisticated and motivated consumer who currently is able to analyze the different bandwidth and throttling options and select to which provider to switch at the end of their contract.

[Captain's Blog] Captain's Blog: Katrina ... More Hints of Another 911? -- Updated ...: While idly thinking about the Heinlein 'Martian double world' quote from Space Cadet today, it suddenly flashed through my head that in 'Egyptian Harmony', Gadalla talks alot about the Egyptian propensity for doing 'doubled inscriptions'-- around a doorway, for example-- where the inscription on the left side and right side of the doorway says the same thing, but the hieroglyphs are written in mirror image to one another. Also, Egypt itself was divided into Two Lands, the Black Land (kmt, usually written as 'kemet'-- it is the root word of the Arabic al-Khemiya [alchemy], meaning 'the Egyptian science') which was the cultivated dark earth along the Nile, and the Red Land (dsrt, usually written 'deseret', the root word for the English 'desert') which was the desert beyond, and the burial-place of royalty.
