Developments and directions in residential broadband networks

With apologies to Oldsmobile, today's residential broadband networks are "not your father's networks." Rapid advances on the services, infrastructure technology, competitive, and regulatory fronts are changing the landscape on a continual basis. And a quick look to the future tells us that this period of change is not about to end any time soon. To help attendees better understand the current state of and future direction for residential broadband networks, this presentation will take a close look at the high quality, high bandwidth services and applications that are most in demand by today's end users, and the future services that network operators are promoting. It will also explore the technical developments that are changing the way carriers are delivering services and that are influencing how they are building out their infrastructures. It will conclude with a discussion of the current regulatory environment, which is affecting the players in the residential marketspace, the services being offered, and the technologies being used to deliver them.
