DOCSIS 3.0 was recently approved, allowing service providers to use a wider range of frequencies. Once the equipment becomes available, upstream bandwidth can increase right away -- and even more if the FCC releases the analog spectrum after broadcasters fully move to digital in a few years.

this is just a cut from a news clip here:

DOCSIS 2.0 was approved over 5 yrs ago and I don't know of a single operator that offers speeds that max out DOCSIS 1.0. I see 3.0 as a band-aid until speeds comparable to fiber can be delivered to a subscribers home. (in Japan or Korea)

BTW, the FCC doesn't have to approve the technology that the cablecos decide to use. (Thank God!)
