In addition to being the leading multi-channel provider of analog video, cable is now offering its customers a wide array of advanced services, including high-speed Internet service, digital video, and cable telephony. The cable industry has invested billions of dollars in infrastructure upgrades to provide residential customers with high-speed access to the Intemet and other services. Today cable makes its high-speed Intemet service available to more than 60 million of the nation's households, and cable modem service is being made available to millions of additional households every year. Less well known is the extent to which cable companies are using their broadband infrastructure to provide facilities-based telephone service to both residential and business consumers. Residential Circuit-Switched Telephony Initially hampered by regulatory constraints, cable telephony is tapping into what promises to be a large potential market. Cable operators like AT&T, Cox, Comcast and Cablevision are offering competitive residential telephone services in a number of markets across the country. With penetration rates in the mid-teens and above, they are proving that consumers will buy telephone services from their local cable companies. Cable companies have invested nearly $50 billion since 1996 upgrading their systems to offer new services.

  • Media Kit the Success Principles™ How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
    Media Kit The Success Principles™ How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be Media Contact: Veronica Romero (805) 563-2935 x11 Dear Media Professional, You probably know me from my Chicken Soup for the Soul books, but long before I produced even the first Soup book, I owned a training company with offices in five cities and taught everyone from CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to regular, everyday people how to be happier, more successful and more fulfilled in their lives. In fact, some people say I’ve created more millionaires than any other success teacher alive today. I don’t know if this is true, but I do know that many of my students reach levels of success they’d never dreamed of before. Perhaps it’s because my system of proven success principles insures that students become masters at planning for success, assembling others to help them, taking action on any goal — but most importantly eliminating any internal blocks that stand in the way of them achieving success. Now I’ve put that system into a brand new book I’d like to introduce to you today. The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be I hope you’ll take a few moments to read through the background materials enclosed in this media kit, then join me in bringing these important principles of success to the public at large. My publicity team, my co-author Janet Switzer and my publishers at HarperCollins have planned an aggressive media schedule to insure The Success Principles becomes the new success classic for anyone wanting to improve their lifestyle, better their career, grow their relationships, and plan for their future-enjoying more wealth, better health, greater opportunity, more vibrant relationships, greater free time and more independence than ever before.
