When the first cable telephony services were introduced, the initial response from both investors and competitive service providers was either puzzlement or a big yawn. After all, why would cable operators spend enormous amounts of capital to provide a service that was readily, and inexpensively, available from traditional voice carriers? The cable operators believed two things:
1. A bundle of video, voice, and data services could attract new subscribers.
2. Advances in Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) technology would offer an increasingly cost-effective way to provide telephony services over their existing cable TV infrastructure.
Time has proven the cable industry correct on both points, and, as of mid-2003, more than 9.5 million households and businesses around the world had signed up for cable telephony service.
This report examines and updates cable telephony services provided by cable TV operators. It covers market and industry drivers for cable telephony, examines network architectures, and discusses existing technology standards. The report focuses closely on the transition from circuit-switched cable telephony services to VoIP services, and forecasts worldwide cable telephony subscribers and revenues through the year 2007.
