Open Cable................................. multichannel.com CableLabs CEO Richard Green kicked off the meeting with word that the DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service/Interoperability Specification) cable-modem specification was accepted by the International Telecommunications Union as an official standard at a meeting two weeks ago in Geneva. "It's extremely useful ... to the manufacturers, especially ... for this to be recognized as an international standard," Green said of the ITU decision, which the ITU will call J112. On the OpenCable front, the publication of application program interfaces should be completed in time for the National Show in May, said David Beddow, senior vice president for TCI's National Digital Television Center. Beddow described OpenCable as a continuum of advanced digital set-tops based on existing and standardized technologies that will emerge in prototype form as early as November.
