Super-fast Internet connections with existing cable-TV networks

Demand for high-speed Internet access is forecast to grow sharply with the increasing availability of video on demand, teleworking and easier access to government services. However existing bandwidths will soon be inadequate as just one TV programme converted to the digital domain requires about 5 megabit/second (MB/s). The EUREKA (Belgium) project has resulted in super-fast Internet connections over existing cable TV networks with no need for a consumer modem.
