Students Use 802.11g To Save Cable Industry

Posted by michael on from the in-your-dreams dept.

LiquidFun writes "Business undergraduates at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business have written an e-business case for one of their case competitions that describes how to use 802.11g wireless technology to distribute cable content, both interactive and broadcast, throughout the home. They mention features like video-on-demand, cable gaming, etc. and even provide enough of the technical specifications necessary to start believing that this could work. They even make available their PowerPoint presentation that they presented to judges from both Cisco & Deloitte Consulting. I'd say a pretty good job for third-year undergrads."

    Hello, I am a Cisco certified individual who witness first hand the concepts that were presented by the Berkeley undergrad team. I was personally impressed and very excited to see such elite people among already intelligent folk. They surely do stand out against the rest of the crowd.

    The first bit made sense: Students Use 802.11g To Save Cable. After that it went downhill a little.
