Whenever I go downtown, I feel like an Ex-Con casing the joint

Multicast out with your modem out

February 24th, 2008

AT&T’s TV offering is called U-Verse. I just now learned the details of it.

It’s H.264 MPEG-4 video over a multicast IP Fiber Optic network. No one else is doing this. Not even Verizon with FIOS. This sounds super-cool and since detractors say it’s impossible to scale, I say go with it, at&t. I doubt I’ll subscribe to pay tv anytime in the near future, but this is the way to go. Keep on truckin, SBC … I mean AT&T.
