| 20% huh... I wonder if that 20% will be much comprised of there Adelphia acquisitions? Adelphia had DOCSIS 2 in place in many markets, and was ready for DOCSIS 3 with a simple software upgrade. Should be pretty easy to reach 20% by the end of the year if this is the case.

| The real cost of the whole thing is going to be any head end upgrades required which will differ by market, but for sure they will need to distribute new CPE devices. DOCSIS 3.0 is useless without a DOCSIS 3.0 CPE. |

Considering that new modems are needed for DOCSIS 3.0 and quite possibly new line cards in the CMTS, I fail to see how that's a simple software upgrade. |

I should have said, short of CPE, a software upgrade was all that was needed. This was said by a technician who used to post in the Adelphia forum two years ago. His job was dealing with the CMTS type stuff and above throughout the Adelphia network. I wouldnt know if this was still the case since TW and Comcast sliced and diced things up so much when they took over.

| I am thinking that adelphia equipment was cisco. Cablevisions equipment just needed a software update to go docsis 2 (was told this by a cablevision enginer). I dont know if this same equipment can do docsis 3 though . |
