Broadband Top 50
Companies, concepts, people

CED Magazine unveils its "Broadband Top 50", a list of fifty companies, technologies and people who have most impacted the industry this year. At the top they place Comcast, because "not only did it successfully swallow AT&T Broadband with less operational indigestion than seen in past major cable mergers, but now it also is eyeing an aperitif as Adelphia Communications unwinds."

I predict Verizon may even deploy FTTP someday.

Unless of course they upgrade all of their users to 5/512. I've read about that somewhere...
Unlikely to happen soon (if ever) but possible.

 My speculation...Verizon goes to bed with RCN as other RBOC's do with smaller HFC companies in their regional areas. Former individually operated smaller HFC's offer POTS to elderly with big button phones over traded twisted pair plants from RBOC's. AT&T gets back into bed with RBOC's as 1982 is a thing of the past via TCA1996. AT&T uses engineering docs acquired from primarily M1 and less than likely TCI in an endeavor to upgrade/enhance RBOC's recently acquired HFC systems. AT&T in big position again similar to pre 1982. Competition then price decreases then speed wars then symmetry wars.

Re: Verizon FTTP

I don't think that AT&T every really broke up.... There has to be some "under the table" things going on that people don't know about... Yes, I do believe in CERTAIN conspiricies in the buisness world....

Docsis 3.0

Is docsis 3.0 the wonderful reason why TWC/RR is still using docsis 1.0 / 1.1? I sure as hell hope so. 200mbps/100mbps may be worth the wait.

Re: Docsis 3.0

Why isn't cablevision on there for Optimum Online? Too small a market? I know I'd love to be back with them. I'm paying the same price for Time warner and getting 1/3 the download speed and 1/2 the upload speed. And Time Warner seems to have a lot more downtime and slowdowns than Cablevision has, at least here in Brooklyn.
