Making Business Sense Out of the Wideband Protocol for a DOCSIS Network
Overview To date, cable operators have enjoyed an upper hand in the competition to deliver highspeed services because of their network capacity and bundling strategy. In the U.S., telcos' attempts to counter this advantage by reliance on Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service have been somewhat successful in attracting new subs. But because of data throughput restrictions and the carrier's reluctance to enter the video space, these services did not threaten cable operators' advantage. However, with recent announcements of Fiber-To-The-X (FTTX) and metro Ethernet architectures in the U.S., and deployments of advanced DSL, fiber networks and true triple play services elsewhere in the world, the playing field looks much more level and the true battle is ready to begin.
