Even as they prep for DOCSIS 4.0 and other HFC plant upgrades, cable operators are rapidly installing more fiber lines to expand bandwidth capacity, offer faster data speeds, launch new services, slash operating costs and compete with fiber-happy rivals like AT&T and Verizon. Yet, even as they invest more heavily in fiber, cablecos face critical questions about their upgrade strategies, their timing and the costs involved.

This webinar will explore cable's embrace of fiber builds, the opportunities that more fiber enables and the deployment, testing, operational and other challenges that it presents for the industry.
