Cable CTOs Paint Ambitious Future By LESLIE ELLIS Denver -- Cable's top technologists are doubly focused on 750-megahertz, two-way plant upgrades and the services that will ride on those networks, they said at the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers' recent Cable-Tec Expo here. Saying that the time is right to "seize the opportunities" facing them with digital video, high-speed data and packet-data services, chief technical officers at the top four MSOs chatted about their challenges and workload, focusing on how to "implement the vision" of broadband. The foursome advised a room of 3,000 onlookers to get busy immediately on digital video and high-speed data. "There's not a single cable operator that currently shouldn't be planning on launching digital video," said Alex Best, senior vice president of engineering for Cox Communications Inc.
