They've got it in Hong Kong, and it's available for the American market as well. It's just not likely going to be installed any time soon at any rural cable service provider. But, here's the skinny on a company dedicated to pushing an aged industry forward, at a cost as low as $300 per home.
Today, Narad announced a new solution that enables cable operators to cost-efficiently provide up to 100 Mbps dedicated data to each and every home on a cable system. This is effectively a 1000x increase in data capacity (scales easily to 10s of Gigabits per node) by comparison to today's DOCSIS solution insofar as the 100 Mbps is not shared. It's dedicated or committed - and symmetric. For example, each home could have 100 Mbps of video on demand services.
