I live in nYC(Queens, S. ozone Park). I was just reading a clipping on
Media One's Home Page. It said that it will provide its so
called"broadband" network technology to cities around the world. It will
allow for 2 way transfer so that you can order pay per view via your remote
control. I've been doing that for years now. I currently have 98 channels
on my tv. Is that 2 way transfer( So that i can seriously hope for Cable
modems to arrive in nyc)? And do they have to lay Fiber Optic Cables
directly into my house or will the coaxial cables be enough, or do they just
have to upgrade there network to fiber optics? THANX !

They are refering to IMPULSE PPV. Not like you are using now. Some call it
VIDEO on DEMAND. You can Fast foward, stop, rewind your PPV show. this
requires being on a fiber plant (to reduce noise and improve c/n ratios) and
being on a 2way reverse capable plant. This plant will also support 2way
cable modems and Worldgate (internet TV).

I see. thanx alot. that will be nice/ to be able to fast forward the
pay-perview movies past the sex parts when the kids are watching(instead of
telling them to close there eyes). hopefully it will be here soon. Thanx
