Downstream HFC Capacity Improvement
• Subdivision of existing optical nodes. “Node split”.
• Stat mux digital channels. “Switched Digital Video”.
•Movement of analog channels to digital. “Spectrum re-use”.
•Increase the upper RF spectrum to 1Ghz. “Spectrum expansion”
• Use RF spectrum above 1Ghz. “Spectrum overlay”.

Upstream HFC Capacity Improvement
• Subdivision of existing optical nodes. “Node split”.
• Conversion to all digital. Allocate a portion of former downstream bandwidth to upstream. “Mid-split”.
• Use RF spectrum above 1Ghz. “Spectrum overlay”.
•Use micronode (fiber-to-the-premise, aka Docsis PON or DPON) technology where more bandwidth is needed

DOCSIS Overview
Standard adopted by the cable industry in the late 1990’s
DOCSIS is an IP over ethernet standard Layer 3 based architecture Broadcom chips in the serving office (Cable Modem Termination System) and the
Cable Modem Cisco routed core network (Cisco dominates the CMTS business)
All future CATV IP services run over DOCSIS PacketCable-VOIP standard, uses NCS (MGCP) moving to SIP PacketCable Multimedia-extends control plane to all multimedia services
DOCSIS is a global standard Certification waves for vendors across the globe\ Testing labs in Europe and Asia

HFC Capacity Upgrade Comparisons
HFC Upgrade:•Case1: (Switched Digital Video):
• DS: 4Gbps /192 subs ~20Mbps even distribution.• US: 360Mbps /192 subs ~ 1.8Mbps even distribution.
•Case2 (Bandwidth Expansion):• DS: 5.64Gbps /192 subs ~29.3Mbps even distribution.• US: 360Mbps /192 subs ~ 1.8Mbps even distribution.
•Case3 (Deep Fiber) : • DS: 4Gbps /192 subs ~20Mbps even distribution.• US: 4Gbps /192 subs ~ 20Mbps even distribution.
•Case 4 (Spectrum Overlay):• DS: 4.6Gbps /192 subs ~23Mbps even distribution.• US: 2.4Gbps /192 subs ~ 12Mbps even distribution.
DOCSIS 2.0 (3.0): • DS: 40 (160Mbps) peak.• US: 30 (120Mbps) peak
Conclusion:• In order for the HFC network to meet or exceed FTTN “Committed” Information Rate capabilities,
enhancement via one or more of the several techniques mentioned above will be required.• In order for the HFC network to meet or exceed the VDSL (FTTN) “Peak” Information Rate capabilities,
DOCSIS3.0 Modems and upgraded CMTS will be required.• In order for the HFC network to exceed the FTTN “Committed + Peak” Bandwidth capabilities both A) and
B) would be necessary. However; a) or b) alone could have an interim marketing advantage over FTTN.

P2P Ethernet FTTP
P2P is well suited for serving enterprise customers Designed to support transport and the dedicated facilities that enterprise customers demand
Enterprise customers take responsibility for security, on-premises networking, VLAN management, etc.
P2P is suitable for residential customers beyond the reach of PON

Total FTTP homes in Minnesota (as of 9/30) ~ 18 to 20,000
2007 FTTP deployments in Minnesota (through 9/30)
Homes 5,610 Up 75% year over year
Percent RF Video 50% Declining over the next few years
Percent with GE interfaces 17% Likely to exceed 80% in 2008
Percent GPON 53% Likely to exceed 80% in 2008 as BPON fades

Obstacles to FTTH Deployment in MN
Most operators in Minnesota deploying FTTH are in low growth areas Independent Telcos have led the way rebuilding their ILEC areas with FTTH and through CLEC activity. Over half in Minnesota now deploying FTTH
High growth Twin Cities suburbs have recently deployed copper plant; not yet depreciated No Verizon type overbuilding of copper plant, except in greater Minnesota by IOC CLECs and some innovators, such as Hiawatha Broadband and Jaguar
Most new housing growth in Minnesota is in Qwest territory; Qwest is the only major operator in the U.S. still not deploying FTTH for new residential developments Expect to see more activity in 2008. Committed $300 Million for FTTN deployments over the next two years, probably includes FTTH for some greenfields
Minnesota has few large master planned communities Large sunbelt states projects can demand FTTH
Minnesota law restricts HOAs from signing long term exclusive contracts with FTTH service providers; limits FTTP deployments in new developments Sunbelt states benefiting from new FTTH service providers
