Open cable. Digital is slower then expected...................cableworld.com Digital has come on much more slowly than first projected, " he explained, discounting the seemingly rapid pace at which operators are now deploying it. "What we've learned over the last 10 years is that cable has a massive infrastructure and even after the technology is at hand to do new things with it, it takes years to move that into the marketplace." "It will take years for the new services that are now at hand to be available ubiquitously and to find out all new ways to market them and to work out business relationships that surround content and so forth, but we're launched. We've departed on that trip and, in hindsight, it will come rapidly; from a weekly magazine's perspective it will come very slowly," he said.
