How does on implement bandwidth management under a fully deployed VOD market? At which node within the network are the video srteaming servers located? I'm imagining a Friday or Saturday night when you have 10,000 customers watching 2,000 streamed movies simultaneously. At some point within a market congestion is going to get ugly.
Do they implement some sort of packet prioritization? That would be at the heart of what consumers fear (re: net-neutrality). Will this require a given market to migrate to IP-based video delivery (a la IPTV)? Saying its cable's best weapon against satellite and IPTV is asinine considering IPTV is also being used in CABLE, and being contemplated by most major cable operators to better scale existing bandwidth resources.
