SCTE® LiveLearning for Professionals Webinar™ Series: Embracing the Fiber Future
Even as the industry begins the DOCSIS 4.0 era, cable operators are increasingly placing their bets on fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks as the broadband platform of the future. Led by such major MSOs as Comcast, Charter, Cox and Altice USA, cablecos are briskly installing new fiber lines in all greenfield areas and some brownfield areas as well as they seek to leverage government subsidies and stave off competition from fiber-happy telcos rivals like AT&T, Verizon and Frontier.
Yet, even as they plunge more heavily into fiber builds, operators face critical questions about their network upgrade strategies, their timing and the heavy costs involved. This webinar will examine cable's embrace of fiber builds, the opportunities that FTTP offers and the technical and operational challenges that it presents for the industry.
