High speed cable modems are the technical link that will bring the Internet and video-on-demand to the cable-ready TVs in our homes. This great leap forward will hit the market in 1997, and this is the book with the inside information on how it works. The author couldn't be closer to the process; he codeveloped the benchmark technical standard for cable modems. He explains the theoretical basics of the technology and the 802.14 standard, as well as practical implementation aspects related to video, data, and voice transmission.
