A Secure Delivery And Usage Model For Rich Content That Minimizes Peak Network Congestion (2001)
By Walter Boyles, Wavexpress, Inc.
Broadcast is the most efficient means of delivering rich content to the consumer. Unicast pull is the most convenient method for the consumer to obtain rich content on-demand (any kind of content at any time). The inherent shared bandwidth nature of the Hybrid Fiber/Coax (HFC) network, coupled with advances in technology, allows the best attributes of both broadcast and unicast pull to be provided to the consumer with the lowest cost and a high degree of consumer choice and discretion. With this, reliable security and transactional methods must be used to protect the content and verify consumption.
