From B&C Not so soon for new services says Paul Allen "Wired World" visionary Paul Allen warns that the cable industry's much-hyped elevation from video-only provider to digital deli will take some time. "In terms of deploying new technology, things in the cable industry don't happen overnight," Allen said during yesterday's NCTA opening session. "You have to do truck rolls, you have to select new technology. Those are things all of us in the industry are going through." Enthusiasm still reigns, but executives are more assertive in managing expectations on execution challenges. "My sense is this is the single most exciting time to be in the business," said Comcast President-CEO Brian Roberts. "The rate of change is dizzying. We are so blessed to have a pipe that today can give you 2 million bits a second." But, Roberts added, "It gets overhyped and the media wants it here tomorrow….We'll have our bumps."
