  • IP packet technology telephony may be the future direction but current trials are using existing circuit switched technology.

  • AT&T expects broadband technology to allow the convergence of TV, data and telephony services to create a more cost effective network infrastructure that offers more robust service offerings than today’s telephone, ISP, OSP model.

  • Consumers who use cable telephony will have tremendous freedom to tailor services to their exact needs coupled with the flexibility and ability to modify the services via an electronic ordering platform (whether over the internet or a Cable TV set-top device).

  • The original excitement regarding cable telephony is being tempered by regulatory and technology-based issues.  However, cable companies are actively pursuing solutions to these issues by lobbying the FCC and through extensive R&D.
