Theres one thing DOCSIS will probably never escape though, and thats jitter. It's just an inherent side effect of TDMA, and whilst you can use buffers to smooth it out, for games it's not a great fix (plus, buffer bloat, yay).
I think VM would be silly not to have it as a long term aspiration, but until they see their technology as a liability it's never really going to happen.
BT and the other operators would be wise to use it to their advantage with advertising, though.
