The Emerging Technologies Program Subcommittee, led by Tom Buttermore, Vice President & General Manager, Global MSO Solutions of Nortel, has selected a program focusing on the critical technology issues 3 to 5 years out.
Advanced Advertising Technology: Driving the Next Growth Engine
How can cable's massive infrastructure and assets be leveraged to position MSOs to drive and shape advanced advertising? Near- and long-term applications as well as the evolution of cable's interactive architecture will be explored. In addition, stakeholders' roles for advertisers, programmers, and media companies in shaping a national footprint will be discussed.

Cable's Evolution to the Hyperconnected Network
The industry is continuously evolving and learning. But today's 5-, 10-, or 50-million-node network is going to face an unprecedented challenge in the next decade as the number of network-enabled devices that each of us uses (whether we know it or not) expands at a near-exponential rate. How do we support the resulting requirement for a BILLION-node network and beyond?
Beyond the number of nodes is the increased complexity driven by the any-service-at-any-time-on-any-device end game that will play out. How do we build a network that has both the scalability and the agility to address both of these challenges?
The industry is responding with a variety of possible solutions, including:
- Integrating PON subscribers into the existing cable modem base
- Device consolidation through hundred-plus channel count QAMs
- Dynamic capacity sharing in universal edge QAMs
- Potential new M-CMTS architectures
- IPv6 transition strategy for PacketCableTM 2.0
- The all-optical intelligent network at 40 and 100G
Which solution or combination of solutions promises to provide the most flexibility and cost efficiency over the next three-to-five years?

Cable 3.0: Personalizing Services Beyond Web 2.0
This session will explore innovative Web 2.0 services, novel home devices, platforms for service delivery and key underlying technologies from within and outside the cable industry. Opportunities for cable to establish unique leadership at the intersection of the web, digital video/media and next-generation networking will be discussed. A convergent future beyond the Web and television today-a new world of pervasive video, user content, social networking, online services, and an exploding number of connected video-capable devices in our lives-will be debated.

Rapid Application Delivery and Service Quality Management
Swivel-chair provisioning and assurance has been the bane of rapid service enablement for years. With the explosion of open systems architectures, application developers, user-controlled services, content, social networking technologies, and on-demand services and applications, this limitation continues to slow implementation and increases the operational cost to deliver services with quality to the consumer. Application and service enablement and quality of experience control will differentiate the MSO from its current and future competitors. Building upon the customer satisfaction associated with comprehensive and flexible service offerings, MSOs will seek to ensure increasing quality of experience for their subscribers, even as the underlying infrastructure takes on complexity. This session tackles some of the important challenges the industry faces in subscriber policy management, on-boarding of new applications, measuring and managing quality of experience (QoE), and how standards and new architectures will address these needs in the coming years.
