Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03017529A1] A method and system for the delivery of information from diverse content provider service networks to subscribers of a terrestrial CATV network is disclosed. The subscribers of the CATV network interact dynamically with the content provider networks by submitting requests for the delivery of data, video, services and other content information. The requests are suitably transmitted via the CATV cable plant to a content provider service network interface associated with the cable plant and are forwarded therefrom to the appropriate content provider service networks. The content information delivered by the appropriate service networks is received by the content provider service network interface and forwarded to the requesting subscribers. The request and content information is transmitted through the cable infrastructure at substantially high data rates. The high transfer rates are accomplished by the encoding of the information into a broadband signal having a substantially expanded bandwidth.
