re: skg is an isp?.....lol Barry I have already explained to you previously that SKG uses two technologies.........read it again Pee brain.
-------------------------------------
VDSL is used for video on demand.

Movie on demand can NOT be transmitted via RF because it doesn't stream smoothly enough and uses too much bandwidth, they can only use POWER LINES to transmitt it using another technology called VDSL

---------------------------------
BPL is used for Broad band along Power Lines hence the name BPL.

Large In-building BPL networks get ACA Approval

It was reported in `Communications Day’ that SkyNetGlobal claim to have gained approval from the ACA for their in-building powerline communications networks. The company currently has exclusive powerline access agreements with 51 buildings covering more than 10,000 residences. With the ACA permission, their plan is to achieve national coverage of 500 buildings over the next 24 months covering approximately 100,000 apartments.

With subscriber uptake of about 20% per building SkyNetGlobal expects to sign up 200,000 subscribers by 2006. Additionally they plan to offer VoIP and Video on demand services over the powerline. Following the announcement SkyNetGlobal shares jumped 12.8%, (“ Communications Day” Friday, 2 nd July).

Large high rise applications are seen as a prime market for ((((BPL technology))))) as the cost of cabling to individual apartments in these buildings can be very high, and a BPL system can be extremely cost effective.
