Wire the home not the device
The HK and Singapore services both focused on delivering broadband to a particular device in the home, TV or PC. This is a doomed strategy. The PC isn't great for video and the TV isn't great for email/web.
My suggestion is simple. The pipe comes to the house and is accessable by PCs and the TVs. PCs access the email/web and TVs access video. You can also have PCs access video and TVs with email/web, but only as supplementry services, not as their main function. Granted that this is hard because is requires that the house has multiple ports for coax/ethernet. But cable companies have to do this now anyways, right?
Broadband services should focus on networking the house, not just individual devices in the home.
