Network Infrastructure with Cable MSO
by Erez Gordan Internet MarketingTelevision watching is one of the most popular activities around
the world. Despite
this, very few people think about where their television comes from other than
when they go to pay their cable bill every month. Because of this, the television is mystified and considered a
magical box of pictures instead of a complex piece of technology. However, as individual as our
television watching may seem from the comfort of our living rooms, in fact it
is one of the most social activities you can partake in; networked together
with televisions in the same neighborhood, your television is sharing its
information and channels with all your closest neighbors.
How Network Infrastructures are Built
Before getting into how network infrastructures are built, it is
important to first understand what a network infrastructure is. Broadly a network is a grouping of
particular objects under the same label. As
an example, television networks are groupings of shows that are produced for a
particular channel. Cable
television, however, is a network of channels brought together and broadcast
publicly to a particular region. Basic
television packages include only cable television, and thus it is a public
service, only receiving channels that are in this network.
Public cable networks in particular regions are held together by a
multiple systems operator, more commonly known as an MSO. A cable MSO is the direct link of
the different channels held together in basic cable in order to create a
packaged deal. These
serve a specific single community or govern
mentality, the channels changing by locality of region. These depend on where telecom
towers are and what signals they are receiving to distribute to the community
at large.
Why Does This Matter?
Understanding the cable mso is important because it helps you understand how you
are connected to your neighbors and how information is distributed within a
community and around the globe. Examples
of MSOs include Comcast, DirecTV, Time Warner Cable, and Dish Network amongst
others in America alone. This
multitude of different providers allows for the public to choose what sort of
information they want to receive in their homes, connecting members of this MSO
by allowing them to bond over their packages and knowledge. Ultimately, the MSO is an important
innovation because it allows the public to share information. Television watching may not seem
like a social event, but it is a subconsciously social activity.
