| Cable Telephony Service: VoIP Finally
Shows Up |
 |
For close to a decade, cable TV operators
around the globe have been upgrading their hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure
in order to provide advanced services like cable telephony. While
most cable operators offering voice services use either traditional
circuit-switched technology or a twisted-pair overlay network, a few
cable operators are now offering Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based
telephony services. Other cable operators, to include some leading
North American operators, have recently stated that they plan to begin
offering VoIP-based cable telephony service in 2005.
This report covers the cable telephony services market around
the world. It discusses the business case for provisioning cable telephony
services, looks closely at the transition from circuit-switched services
to VoIP, and breaks down cable telephony’s cost structure by network
architecture.
In addition, it discusses leading cable TV operator telephony
strategies, profiles key industry equipment and service suppliers,
and updates the availability of cable telephony services by geographic
region.
The report provides forecasts for worldwide cable telephony
subscribers, VoIP cable telephony subscribers, and installed cable
telephony lines through the year 2008. It also forecasts cable telephony
service revenues and the growth of “Voice-over-Broadband” cable telephony
subscribers over the next five years.
