Light Reading's coverage of the NCTA National Show in Atlanta earlier this week helped illuminate several panels, sessions, and hallway discussions concerning cable's strategy for countering the IPTV plans of the telephone companies.

Now that NCTA is officially over, we are cleaning out the memory on the camera and giving it all to you. Enjoy.
