| Costs? So, the switch to all-IP means that they're going to replace their current network equipment and nearly all existing CPE, right? How much more will this cost on top of their ~$30b network upgrade plans? |

That was the point of putting in a "~$30b network" to begin with. It can be upgraded quickly and cheap. |

IPTV - Sounds like they are admitting AT&T was right on the format. Now just fire up VDSL and start installing the millions of MDU's already past. |

their cable boxes are already IP capable, which is how they currently deliver VOD. |
