NCTA Launches New Technology Blog to Educate, Engage in Dialogue

1/8/2008, WASHINGTON, D.C. – CableTechTalk.com, a new blog that will focus on the changing broadband technology landscape, was launched today by the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA). The blog will highlight telecommunications policy, cable’s products and services, and other high-tech products that operate in conjunction with cable’s robust infrastructure.

As NCTA President & CEO Kyle McSlarrow notes in the inaugural blog post, "Today's vibrant public policy discussions are driven by conversation and debate taking place online, so we hope this blog will contribute to that dialogue. Cable operators have spent more than $110 billion since 1996 to build a robust network for delivering voice, video and data services to our customers. We’ll take a look at the newest gadgets and tech toys – the consumer electronics that benefit from and leverage cable’s platform.”

Current plans for this blog are to invite guest contributions from throughout the cable industry to talk about the latest gadgets, management of large scale networks and how changes in regulations often have an effect on the customer’s experience. Views from outside the industry – including those not in agreement with cable – will also be invited to contribute to the dialogue.

NCTA is the principal trade association for the U.S. cable industry, representing cable operators serving more than 90 percent of the nation's cable television households and more than 200 cable program networks. The cable industry is the nation’s largest broadband provider of high-speed Internet access after investing more than $110 billion over ten years to build a two-way interactive network with fiber optic technology. Cable companies also provide state-of-the-art digital telephone service to millions of American consumers.
