Telecom players often face competition from cable operators when it comes to offering broadband and content services. But cable also has an upgrade path towards a next-generation network, one that is often caricatured. It's important for telcos to understand what that upgrade path is and how it can be matched or countered. This is what this report by Herman Wagter covers.

A crucial read if you:

- Operate in a market where cable has a strong presence

- Face cable competition at the service layer

- Want to understand how telcos can beat cable at its own game

Cable networks are often considered to be inferior to fiber-to-the-home, which leads some telcos todismiss the threat. Things aren't that simple, however, as this report will show. The authors investigate the upgrade options available to a cable operator, and consider how telcos can compete effectively.

- An introduction to HFC architecture

- Not all digital TV is created equal

- Examining upgrade options

- Conclusions and recommendations
