Mathieu Andriessen duikt diep in de wereld van telecom. De uitrol van glasvezel nadert zijn einde, maar waarom kan het alsnog jaren duren? Hoe verhouden Vodafone Ziggo, KPN, Odido en Delta zich tot elkaar? En hoe ziet de toekomst van netwerken eruit met ontwikkelingen zoals private 5G? Dit en meer in een aflevering vol scherpe inzichten, luisteraarsvragen en een gezonde dosis nerdy humor.Mathieu is directeur van de branchevereniging NLConnect, en schetst een beeld van de markt. Van de invloed van regelgeving en lobby in Den Haag tot de uitdagingen rondom netwerkinfrastructuur en concurrentie. Hoe zorgen providers ervoor dat Nederland één van de best verbonden landen ter wereld blijft? En waarom lijkt de aanleg van glasvezel in sommige gebieden rommeliger te verlopen? Daarnaast bespreken ze de impact van product category rules op duurzaamheid en hoe telecominfrastructuur een sleutelrol speelt in de toekomst van connectiviteit.Sponsor: BreinsteinZoek jij ook IT-brein voor de lange termijn?

September 12, 1995, was a historic day for cable technology. It was then, during a CableLabs board meeting in New York, that a group of leaders heard from industry pioneer John Malone about the coming, critical importance of developing interoperable equipment for the delivery of high-speed data services over the cable network – a concept that later became DOCSIS.Among the 21 people in attendance that day was Dr. Richard Green, the first CEO of CableLabs. That meeting led to the development of DOCSIS, a "bedrock platform for manufacturers to build modems" and to do so at scale, Green recalls in this episode of the Light Reading Podcast.

DENVER – CABLE NEXT-GEN 2023 – As cable operators begin to zero in on the evolution of the access network, it's become clear that the future is not one size fits all. Some operators are enhancing their DOCSIS 3.1 networks, planting the seeds for DOCSIS 4.0, using fixed wireless access (FWA) to extend the reach of wireline networks or even overlaying their existing hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) plant with fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) technologies.The unedited audio transcript is available in the media player of this episode page.

DENVER – CABLE NEXT GEN 2023 – GCI's Erik Kuhlmann said the company has begun upgrading its DOCSIS 3.1 cable network to a high-split architecture with equipment from vendors including ATX and CommScope. Kuhlmann, the senior director of engineering and architecture for the Alaskan telecom operator, said the move is designed to help the company provide faster speeds to stay abreast of its rivals and slake customer demand.The unedited audio transcript is available in the media player of this episode page.

Entering its 16th year and having obtained its driver's license, Light Reading's Cable Next Gen Technologies & Strategies event will be held March 14 and 15 in downtown Denver. After going all-digital due to the pandemic, this will be the first time the event will be live and in person since 2019.A lot has happened in the cable tech world since then. Many operators back-burnered their hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) upgrades in 2020 to deal with the near-term surge in network traffic. Three years later, that's all on the front burner again as operators push ahead with upstream enhancements to their DOCSIS 3.1 networks and start to plant the seeds for DOCSIS 4.0.The unedited audio transcript is available in the media player of this episode page.

AT&T's new "Gigapower" fiber joint venture with BlackRock Alternatives initially will focus on 1 million to 1.5 million locations outside AT&T's wireline footprint. Meanwhile, Charter Communications and Comcast are embarking on major hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) upgrades. And fixed wireless access (FWA) remains a tool of interest in the broadband investment community.Those were some of the topics covered on this Light Reading Podcast with Jack Burton and Jay Rolls, two cable and broadband vets at Broadband Success Partners, a telecom consulting firm primarily focused on providing tech due diligence to investors exploring opportunities in broadband. It's an active segment, as the firm worked on 32 deals last year and recently held 35 meetings at the recent Metro Connect show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As for that AT&T-BlackRock deal, it was treated like a "completely new entity," said Burton, a principal at Broadband Success Partners who is late of Cablevision Systems and Altice USA. "We had to look at that as if it was a startup." On the cable side, operators are exploring multiple upgrade paths, including a move to DOCSIS 4.0 or a more incremental move featuring "high-split" upgrades paired with a spectrum expansion to 1.2GHz that Rolls, a former Charter CTO, likes to refer to as "DOCSIS 3.5." "I think there's a lot of life left in [DOCSIS 3.1]," he said.
