Re: Cable Company Hotspots

[Lady Benjamin PD Cannon <ben () 6by7 net>]

Rod, that’s exactly how they are delivering it. Unclear wether it’s over a separately provisioned bandwidth channel, or 
wether it shares the aggregate capacity of the HFC.

I tend to agree, as the only hotspot service, customer CPE is generally inadequate.  However it can be a nice 
supplement, and some carriers are now experimenting with unlicensed CBRS chipsets in their CPE as well.
