Blue Ray or High-Def

Youll be waiting a few years for 100mbit connections to your house. Although it can easily be done with fiber today, just not the need for it by most people. I could definitely use it but the majority wouldnt need/want it. Now on the other hand OC 768 is something worth waiting for though. Do a Google search on "optical carrier" and youll know why.

This is a useful thread. Good content. I'm often at least one generation behind when it comes to upgrading home or personal technology. No surprise there. How do these formats stack up on a price/value matrix?


So, Mizickie, is this what you're referring to with optical carriers? How do you process that much data?

Each channel is 51.85 Mbps. An OC-3, for example, has 3 channels adding up to 155.52 Mbps. Currently, Cisco CRS-1 System features OC-768 line cards. These cards are priced at $2,000,000 USD each.

Following several days of rumors, Toshiba has confirmed that it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders, effectively ending the high-def format war.

Haha, I wasnt serious about geting an OC line to your house. Be nice though. And ya that is what I meant though. They are actually used by backbone providers.
