Abstract :
This paper shows how existing drop and in-house wiring can be used to provide local access for interactive multimedia TV (IMTV) to the home. The network architecture considered here is fiber to the curb and local access to the home on either telephone drop wiring or coaxial cable. The downstream IMTV channel, from the curb to the home, operates at a data rate of 51.84 Mb/s, and the upstream channel, from the home to the curb, operates at a data rate of 1.62 Mb/s
