They cache popular content for ISPs at the edge of their network to help reduce those running costs. For me this is a better place to cache content than on the edge of content delivery networks like Akamai. <br></br><br> Of course I have no idea how well that can scale - but its a first step towards reducing the costs of delivering content using an IP based network. </br>Riaz KananiWed, 12 Mar 2008 10:11:45 -0000http://www.razorshine.com/archive/2008/03/12/tv-service-providers-the-future/#comment-1276464thanks :)Riaz KananiWed, 12 Mar 2008 10:05:21 -0000http://www.razorshine.com/archive/2008/03/12/tv-service-providers-the-future/#comment-1313824Some interesting reads: <br>&lt;a href="<a href=" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/20/iplayer_isps_broke/ " rel="nofollow">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/20/iplayer_i...</a>"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/20/...</a rel="></a></br><br>http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/20/iplayer_i...</br><br>/&gt;&lt;a href="<a href=" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://www.slimjim100.com/Is%20DOCSIS%203.0%20here%20now.pdf " rel="nofollow">http://www.slimjim100.com/Is%20DOCSIS%203.0%20her...</a>"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slimjim100.com/Is%20DOCSIS%20...</a rel="></a></br><br>http://www.slimjim100.com/Is%20DOCSIS%203.0%20her...</br><br>/&gt;</br><br></br>ReaderWed, 12 Mar 2008 09:05:47 -0000http://www.razorshine.com/archive/2008/03/12/tv-service-providers-the-future/#comment-1276462Sky have the ability to use their satellite connection to deliver large amounts of content - they can therefore get more from the 24mbps connection than the other providers can - of course they are stuck on the upstream. <br></br><br> But you got me thinking further - Sky would also need to use the same ADSL 2+ connection for video on demand, which if HD quality, would chew through a lot of that bandwidth too. I had forgotten they can&#039;t do VOD. </br>Riaz KananiWed, 12 Mar 2008 08:50:14 -0000http://www.razorshine.com/archive/2008/03/12/tv-service-providers-the-future/#comment-1276461It is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access over their existing hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) infrastructure.
