21. New Generation of CMTS chip sets under development by Broadcom New Generation of CMTS chip sets under development by Broadcom EdgeQAM that would add DOCSIS protocol overhead so DOCSIS CPE Chipsets would lock EdgeQAM that would add DOCSIS protocol overhead so DOCSIS CPE Chipsets would lock Existing DOCSIS 3.0 QAMs would continue to service traditional broadband, telephone, and provide path for return communications (i.e. VOD requests, provisioning, monitoring, software updates, etc) Existing DOCSIS 3.0 QAMs would continue to service traditional broadband, telephone, and provide path for return communications (i.e. VOD requests, provisioning, monitoring, software updates, etc) New DOCSIS QAMs would service IP Simulcast Gateways New DOCSIS QAMs would service IP Simulcast Gateways Early projections indicate the potential need for eight to twelve new DOCSIS QAMs Early projections indicate the potential need for eight to twelve new DOCSIS QAMs How do we get there ?

22. Where does that HFC Bandwidth come from? FACT…We will have current Digital Set-Top boxes for many years FACT…We will have current Digital Set-Top boxes for many years We will need to provide MPEG-2 QAMs for linear video and VOD We will need to provide MPEG-2 QAMs for linear video and VOD Need Bandwidth recovery program Need Bandwidth recovery program Switched Digital Video Switched Digital Video Only add MPEG-2 stream into a Set-Top Service Group when a Set Top tunes to a channel Only add MPEG-2 stream into a Set-Top Service Group when a Set Top tunes to a channel Services that are infrequently watched…HBO multiplex, PPV, SD services, HD services, etc Services that are infrequently watched…HBO multiplex, PPV, SD services, HD services, etc Digital Transport Adapters (DTAs) to tune unencrypted ADS QAMs and output channel 3 / 4 to televisions. Then shut off nearly all analog channels. Digital Transport Adapters (DTAs) to tune unencrypted ADS QAMs and output channel 3 / 4 to televisions. Then shut off nearly all analog channels.
