I would normally remain silent on such topics. But, i can't.MoCA (Multimedia over Cable) is a communications path. Verizon uses it to enable IP comunications to and from what are otherwise normal 'cable' set top boxes. MiCA was chosen to enable IP STB's because installing reliable Ethernet in houses was much more expensive than utilizing the cable that was already pervasive in US houses.
In FiOS, VOD and multi-room DVR (where an STB can be a video 'client' of a DVR STB) content is carried via IP over that MoCA channel as is the Internet 'service' data between the light-terminating-equipment on the side of the house and a customer data access device that Verizon calls the broadband home routers (BHR).
I would not attach such sinister or insidious motives to the use of MoCA.
