Good News in Transmission
by Andrew McCaskey
Two greatly encouraging articles today – one, the 100Gbps backbone test by Comcast using Wave Division multiplexing on the same fiber as a currently operating 40Gbps link, and the other – from a Verizon study – on what they call P4P – enhanced Peer to Peer transmission that can increase speed and capacity up to 600 percent compared with traditional P2P schemes.
Un-fettered by the regulatory and business model aspects – it’s a real thrill to contemplate the arrival, within a few years of routine 100Mbps DOCIS 3.0 service that will be permitted by these backbone technologies in the cable world. As the slow roll out of fiber to the home favored by Verizon continues, those sorts of speeds in the transmission world are nothing but good news.
The challenge will be: Who benefits ? This incredible capacity, held up under net neutrality – is going to be a boon to all . Slapped under proprietary content walls, the balance of power will slip once again from the edges of the network, where innovation occurs, to a hierarchical walled garden. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen ,and that the political will to make sure that it does not emerges by fall.
