100% by end of 2010? Even boondocks markets?
Thats a million times better than TW which is going to redline most of their cable franchises against all capital upgrades that don't result in turn-key revenue (PPV), since no competition.
You don't need to be in a FIOS or Uverse or Muni Fiber area to get Comcast D3 service. Comcast is being a charity with this plan. They need to prepare from stockholder heat. |

Morristown, TN | At least you dont have charter
My guess is by the time charter deploys this technology doc 3 will have become 4.
Thats if they make it through bankruptcy. Comcast fast speeds ftw. |

Re: charity
I live in Metro Detroit, so I am hoping the digital switch and D3 come here soon. But, at my families cabin up north we have Comcast; up there, digital and internet are not even offered yet. The movie channels (all 3 of them) are still on a trap system, and not done through digital boxes. |

D3 upgrades cost $100/customer...you dont think they will make that back over the next 2 years? Cmon, its a wonderful investment, without a major network upgrade (FTTC)
There are muni's and fiber that are going to have upwards of gig speeds within 5 years; its good to see that cable is stepping to compete. |

Cmon, its a wonderful investment, without a major network upgrade (FTTC) Thats a horrible, unjustified investment, I want that $100 per customer as dividends. It better increase ARPU by 20% or its a charity. |

Comcast will make a fortune off of the inevitable cap+overages or straight byte-billing. DOCSIS 3 puts them in a place where they'll be ready to take full advantage. |
