Abstract

Over the past two decades, cable television has largely supplanted over-the-air broadcast as a TV distribution medium, at least in most urban and suburban areas. Several years ago, enterprising companies concluded that they could leverage the extremely wide bandwidth of cable TV systems required to deliver broadcast-quality television as a high-speed conduit for broadband data communications. This led to the birth of the cable modem.
