Default FAA ADS-B Out NPRM needs your input

Yup. So far around here Carter uses "at the pole" block filters. If
you look up at the bottom of the connection "up there" you'll see one
or more colored plugs.


Charter around me is much more advanced. They send signals via fiber optics
to powered boxes scattered around, that then feed about ten houses with coax
cables. All of the premium packages are sent via the optics converters that
then send the extra channels out each line. That also enables them to offer
cable internet services.


They can add channels as you order them, and are speaking to them on the
phone.

It's kinda neat. :-)
