The Nuts and Bolts of Broadband Internet Operations, With Robert Rockell

There was a time, a decade or so ago, when many people thought it
would be a long while before telecommunications networks could
handle the migration from cable TV to over-the-top video
streaming. Clearly a lot of Americans still do both, but it is
striking how easy it has become to stream HD content on multiple
screens at home at once. Rob talks about what happens behind the
scenes to make this possible with Robert Rockell, vice president
of network infrastructure at Comcast.
