CableLabs Value “ The whole surge of the modern cable industry relies on IP
telephony and DOCSIS modems. By creating standards for those technologies, CableLabs has been an enormous boon to the industry“
- John Malone, Chairman Liberty Media
“ With over 16 million digital phone customers already, this innovation alone is estimated to provide $100 billion in savings to consumers and small businesses over the next five years.”
- Kyle McSlarrow, President, NCTA
“ Telcos, lacking a CableLabs-like organization, probably came to market with TV offerings “a couple years later than we could have.”
- Marilyn O'Connell, CMO Verizon Telecom

Cable is Bullish on Business
• Business Services market is huge» $113 Billion annual revenuea
» Small-Medium Business (SMB) market is $24B• Industry Analysts:
» Cable will generate $8.5 billion in commercial revenue by 2011b
– Up from $1.5B in 2006, $2.2B in 2007– Primarily in SMB segment, Voice Services
» RBOCs will lose 10 million SMB lines, $5B in revenue by 2012c
» “The heart of the (Cable’s Business Services) opportunity – the T1 Market, where a 1.544Mb/s connection delivers only half the downstream speed of a cable modem connection but sells for 8-10x the residential monthly price is perhaps the single most profitable market in all of telecommunications.”
