Re: GUI needs major overhaul

I don't know about your area, but I would think such a massive undertaking as bringing "Project Calvary" live in a given system would be a massive undertaking.

I think our first reports of an area doing this was only a few months ago. If you factor in getting the kinks out of hte system, and ensuring box supply and distribution systems would be working for a large scale rollout, it makes perfect sense that it's not a simply "throw the switch" kind of deal.

I also wouldn't be surprised if there were other things needed to "protect" their content. Since all those analogs that get trapped out for HSI only or Limited basic customers are going clear digital, they may need to move things around so they can trap out the digital versions as they go into the clear. (since they can't use encryption on them like they do now).

Ultimately, with all the work needed, I'm not surprised that larger markets are getting the rush deployment with the rest of the system to follow. Just look at their DOCSIS3 deployment. They've promised 100% of the footprint in a year, but so far only limited markets have been deployed. BUT.. we have seen a steady increase in the speed new markets are coming online since the first test markets last year.
