Cable MSOs are beginning to reap the rewards of their five-year, $56 bil. investment to upgrade their networks into multichannel TVÂ’s most robust, versatile platform.
Digital and high-speed-data revenue streams are well-established, and burgeoning services such as VoIP, VOD, SVOD, HDTV bundles, commercial services, DVRs, online gaming and home networking are in the early stages of development.
