Cablecos’ margins are acceptable and their businesses appear stable but they must not become complacent, as telcos, satellite players and DTT operators are closing in on all sides. European Cable: strategies for success identifies the issues that cable operators face, defines their position in the market and shows how to maintain a successful business case.
The report identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the European cable product portfolio and assesses the performance of service bundling to date, indicating how these can be improved. It also looks beyond present cable broadband technology to suggest how cable operators can provide faster and more diverse services. European Cable: strategies for success weighs the pros and cons of moving to pre-specification DOCSIS3.0 technology now, gauges the benefits of M-CMTS architectures and considers whether it would be wiser for cable operators to wait for full DOCSIS3.0 compatibility. The report also provides an in-depth analysis of trends in the pricing of cable and DSL broadband services, and points to the services that cable operators should be providing.
