Well I believe you have unraveled the corporate complexities of Nortel, Antec and Arris. Congratulations, you are 1 of about 6 in the US that understands these relationships now!

You are correct, I have been favorably impressed with the Cornerstone product. Its technology and stability are one of the best on the market today. Having cable modems in the Arris stable prevents Arris from being a one trick pony (although they have always offered some other peripheral equipment along with Cornerstone). However, remember that Cornerstone now comes equipped with its own data ports in the interface unit, negating the need for a separate cable modem if the voice/data configuration of the system is chosen for deployment.

Still, the ability to keep a single source for cable modems first, then incrementally add cable telephony later on is a powerful one. I have heard in the past one criticism of Arris was that they could not supply all the interactive equipment the cable operators wanted. That forced the operator to look elsewhere for their cable modems and reduced the attractiveness of the Cornerstone product. Now that criticism has been dealt with.
