Résumé

High-speed residential networks represent a tremendously diverse subject that embraces high technology, government regulation in the public interest, and entertainment production values. It is the meeting ground for consumer electronics, the Internet, telecommunications, cable television, satellites, politics, and the film industry. Residential broadband emphasizes entertainment, demands case of use, and stresses scale that is potentially huge in comparison to business networking.

Residential Broadband, Second Edition, aims to provide a comprehensive, accessible introduction to the topics surrounding high-speed networks to the home. It is written for anyone seeking a broad-based familiarity with the issues of residential broadband (RBB) including product developers, engineers, network designers, business people, professionals in legal and regulatory positions, and industry analysts. Consumers-the people who are buying and using RBB services-will also find this book to be an interesting peek into what the future holds for them. Readers will learn about the services that are driving the market, the technical issues shaping the evolution, and the network within the home and how it connects to the access network. The author explains the technical concerns, accessibility, the current state, and potential future of cable TV, xDSL FTTx wireless access networks and home networks.
