1. We presented our proposals on how to help Time Warner Cable company retain and gain customers this week through some technical/management solutions. I think that it is timely that we are discussing this subject as the battle between cable and telecom companies as video and voice services are being integrated and provided to customers through one company. We (Team C) discussed integration of digital video/tv, voice, and data service through internet and one physical hardware and the integrated video on demand service while Team D explored the possibility of using fiberoptic technology and the providing of internet TV services.

3. I think this article sums up the competitive situation of the cable and telecom companies very well. Each is integrating into their companies the services traditionally provided by the other. Cable have implemented and increased their voice services and video services, whereas telecommunications companies are becoming less dependent on wired-line phone business and offering more on wireless and DSL and video service. Companies such as Verizon are investing in FIOS technology in order to compete with cable companies on video and other services that require high bandwidth. I think the article would be more complete if it were to propose the use of different emerging technologies in the future and estimate how this will affect the companies financially, similar to what we have been doing in class.
