Customer Reviews: A wealth of information October 31, 1999 Robert A Ivy III (robert964@webtv.net) (Mississippi, USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful A step-by-step guide that takes you by the hand in the design and implementation of an HFC system. A must read for the broadband revolution. I've read it three times. Published in 1995 - Out of Date February 7, 2003 Edmund Mcguigan (Boynton Beach, FL United States) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful That's all there is to say. The book may be well written and may have been up to date in 1995 but it is now thoroughly out of date. In the opening chapter it talks about MPEG2 as a new technology and dismisses the digital transmission of video signals because of the high cost of encoders and decoders. The book also talks about ATM in the way everyone did in 1995 thinking it was going to extend to the desktop. Also take note that it is aimed at enterprises and educational institutions not cable operators.
