Comcast over the weekend announced (http://sev.prnewswire.com/computer-electronics/20080517/CLSA00117052008-1.html) that they've struck a deal to buy Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) gear from Arris Group, as the cable giant speeds up their DOCSIS 3.0 plans. Last month, Comcast launched their first pre-certification DOCSIS 3.0 market, offering $150, 50Mbps/5Mbps service in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In a panel over the weekend at a major cable trade show, Comcast said they currently have DOCSIS 3.0 deployed in two new markets for testing, though they wouldn't specify which. From Cable Digital News (http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=154178&site=cdn): Although Arris and Comcast did not say where the C4 will be installed, the MSO has apparently rolled out Docsis 3.0 in more than one market. David Fellows, a Comcast executive fellow and former chief technology officer, moderated a panel on the topic of bandwidth Sunday afternoon, and hinted that the operator had rolled out Docsis 3.0 in a total of three locations so far. When asked to elaborate, he said the operator had started to test Wideband services with employees and other friendlies in two new markets, but could not identify them. A Comcast spokeswoman was looking into the matter.
Comcast has promised to deploy 50Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 service to their entire customer base by 2010.
