CableNet 2000 Tour, Part 1: CLASSIC IN HINDSIGHT! Stream video to the PC? Seriously? You could do that?

I’m posting this interview for you to see 14 years after it happened, while watching the video of it stream through a cable modem to a PC screen … so, watching myself rapturously wonder whether such a feat is even possible. Trippy, maaaan…

Please enjoy this CableLabs CableNet interview with Jeff Huppertz, then (2000) with Clearband — about this wacky new idea: stream TV through the cable modem to the PC screen. Crazy!

1995 Western Show: Internet via Cable, Part 1 (Nick DiGiacomo, @Your Service/SAIC)

The tech buzz at the 1995 Western Show was all about high speed online services, delivered by cable modems — then very new. I sat down with Nick DiGiacomo of @YourService [then a division of SAIC], to discuss whether broadband Internet service is real, or hype, and to wonder whether real-time streaming video over the Internet will happen in 1996….{OMG the hair.}
