Would DOCSIS be the same as FTTH, with the cableco voice service riding isnide the same DOCSIS bandwidth but with pre-allocated bandwidth, or do they allocate separate NTSC channels with a totally separate data pipe ?
DOCSIS has a possibility to provision unidirectional data flows with certain quality of service characteristics. A pair of these is usually dedicated to a casual Internet connection, another one can be used for layer 2 telephony service, etc. Allocating a whole TV channel frequency would be a big waste. Not even sure it would be possible with standard DOCSIS. Marcin Cieślak
