Method and apparatus for providing internet service at a subscriber premise

摘要

A multimedia interface station (102) establishes a multimedia sensory data link between the Internet (108) and a subscriber premise (112) eliminating an Internet protocol. Visual and audio data received from the Internet (108) is converted to a multimedia sensory signal at the multimedia interface station (102) and transmitted to a sensory transmission device (150) such as a television (142) in the subscriber premise (112) without using the Internet protocol.
