Your Digital Living Room May Be Furnished By Steve Jobs

Really, is that right?? I would say that at first Apple will dominate this. But, one thing this article doesn't get into is Verizon's new fiber network. And one key element in this network is the Network Interface at the side of the house, which contains a demultiplexing card to change the fiber signal into three components: telephone, internet, and video.

What's that got to do with the price of corn?

Well, with the presence of this demux card, you now have a physical demarcation between the outside network, and the inside network. So how long before somebody besides me, figures out that if my video signal and my internet signal have a common termination point(the demuxer card), that also happens to be secure from the rest of the network, with the right demuxer card, I could transfer anything on the computer to my digital dvr in my living room?

Without running any extra wires...

Hmmmmm... this fiber network that the analysts hate right now is starting to look interesting.
Much like the network upgrades that Ivan pushed through years ago on the wireless network.

Not a bad job on Ivan's part, considering 25 years ago he was a splicer.
