These channels don't exist, and even if they did VM would still have do carriage deals to carry them. Would you be willing to pay 10 times as much for your TV service?
Because VOD is switched to you, it uses tiny bandwidth. The number of viewing choices doesn't affect the bandwidth required. (You already have thousands of choices)
In other words, a quarter of the capacity of coax (using current technology)

Yes they might be switched but they still are there, and all have to be there because anyone coudl use them and if they where deploying SVOD channels then they need alot more. All wha ti said is thoery of what they could do with direct fibre conenction. But wether they would or wether they want to or wether there is demand for it is anaother question.
Acutally i know of quite a few places i can get a direct 10gbit connection to mostly because they use oc192 and above. but even wiht torrents in thoery if oyu had enough people uploading for linux distro you could in thoery use the 10gbit conention ot the full, but i do understand what oyu are maening most sites and places are running between 10mb-100mb there odd place on 1gb but few are above that
