This is part #2 in my tegus sponsored deep dive revisiting the cable sector. You can find part #1, which lays out why I’m revisiting cable now, here. You can also find the three tegus interviews I did that formed the basis for this series here:
Just a quick nit: "~30 years ago people wouldn’t dream of needing more than 1 MB/sec from their interest (dial up was ~56k, so 1 MB would be 20x faster)"
56k was standardized 25 years ago, and it was 56 kilobits, not kilobytes! So instead of 20x in 30 years, it's 160x in 25 years.

Very interesting to read, thanks!
Love this series! Has anyone pitched you to bring CLFD/Clearfield onto the Podcast?
