Together Between the home, office and car, consumers have a plethora of devices where content is consumed, transmitted and stored, and communications enabled. The arrival of the broadband era is opening up a brave new world for cable operators. The industry has already overhauled entire networks as traditional cable service grows to include the delivery of voice, data and video. Many large cable operators are rolling out cable modem service in major markets to satisfy consumer demand for high-speed Internet access.
Exciting times lie ahead for the cable broadband industry.
While traditional cable service remains at the heart of MSO offerings, we are about to witness an accelerated focus on delivery of enhanced digital services as consumers become more familiar with the features and applications that broadband enables. Perhaps no technology has taken the world by force over the past few years as wireless technology. Digital voice services for wireless devices have allowed consumers unprecedented connectivity and access to information. However, that new era will not emerge without the evolution and support of analog technology. Today s most advanced broadband services have been built upon and rely on analog for lower power consumption and increased performance.
