 Cable television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technically, both cable TV and CATV involve distributing a number of television channels collected at a central location (called a headend) to subscribers within a community by means of a network of optical fibers and/or coaxial cables and broadband amplifiers.
Cable TV faces intense competition from SkyDigital's satellite television service, although most channels on that platform are also carried on cable (however they do lack features- for example interaction news or football that is- available to Sky Digital viewers); very few channels are now exclusive to cable.
In Africa, cable TV has had little success, as it is not cost-effective to lay cables in sparsely populated areas, and although so-called "wireless cable" or microwave-based systems are used, "direct-to-home" satellite television is far more popular, especially in South Africa.

 Cable modem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cable modems should not be confused with older LAN systems such as 10base2 or 10base5 that used coaxial cables — and especially not with 10broad36, which actually utilised the same sort of cable as CATV systems.
Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access, taking advantage of unused bandwidth on a cable television network.
A cable modem is a special type of modem that is designed to modulate a data signal over cable television infrastructure.

 History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - Commercial Pacific Cable Company
The landing of the cable at Ocean Beach, San Francisco, adjacent to the Cliff House, was apparently quite an event, with a large crowd, numerous dignitaries, and a brass band.
The work of hauling in the cable was done so expeditiously that the officials arrived on the beach only two minutes before the cable, which touched the beach and was christened at 9:55 A.M. While the cable was being spliced to the land end, Mayor Schmitz delivered a short speech, congratulating Mr.
Before the Pacific cable was laid in 1902 the only way to send a telegram from the west coast of America to China or Japan was across America, then to England, and then either via the Great Northern route through Russia or via the Eastern and Eastern Extension network to India and beyond.

 cable on Encyclopedia.com
CABLE [cable] originally wire cordage of great strength or heavy metal chain used for hauling, towing, supporting the roadway of a suspension bridge, or securing a large ship to its anchor or mooring.
One type of electric cable consists of a core protected by twisted wire strands and suitably insulated, especially when it is used to cross oceans undersea; a message transmitted by cable is known as a cablegram or cable.
The coaxial cable, which is virtually immune to external interference, consists of two concentric conductors separated by an insulator; the current in the inner conductor draws the current in the outer conductor toward the center rather than letting it dissipate outwards.

As an illustrative example, consider a DOCSIS cable segment with 4 upstream channels per downstream channel, and 1000 subscribers (a recommended maximum).
Security on a full-time Cable Modem or DSL connection to the public Internet is much more important than on a temporary dial-up modem connection.
The TCP Receive Window has a default value of only about 8K bytes in Windows 95/98/NT, and about 16K bytes in Windows Me/2000/XP, which is adequate for relatively slow dialup modems and for high-speed networks with relatively low latency (e.g., less than 20 milliseconds).

Arbitron Cable's services start with a powerful suite of market-specific consumer and media information and software programs that will enable you to show your advertisers that cable is a highly targeted and effective way to reach the people who buy their products.
This might include comparing cable's reach to the Sunday paper to validate for prospective clients that cable can reach their customers as a single medium—or, more importantly, as a critical ingredient in a multimedia campaign.
Since a single digital channel can carry multiple sources of information — cable outlets, radio stations and TV stations — Arbitron searched for ways to focus on the content rather than the channel that a receiver is tuned to.
