Abstract

Describes the backbone network structure for an information network and CATV applications. Cable TV is a natural network for carrying high-capacity, bandwidth-intense information. In the age of analogue programme signals, cable´s capacity was a natural transmission medium for broadcast colour TV and high-fidelity stereo-sound TV programmes. In the new digital programme signal age, cable´s high capacity is a natural network for carrying interactive, computer-based, data-intensive multimedia programs.
