    FAANGS for the Memories

    Cable Congress 2018 FAANGS for the memories 28 March 2018 Cable Congress Event Summary Hardly a presentation went by at the annual meeting of the European Cable Industry A collection of without mention of the FAANGS (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google). findings from These internet titans were cited as the reason behind cable’s need to consolidate further, Cable Europe’s to embrace mobile more energetically, to shift video transmission to IP, to invest in ever higher speed and capacity, to embed data, machine learning and artificial intelligence in annual Congress, business models and to become an aggregation hub for internet delivered video content. March 6-7 2018 There were also numerous calls for the FAANGS to be blunted by more active oversight in Dublin and regulation. If the time to mend the roof is when it is sunny, then cable is picking the right time to examine its strategy and positioning. European cable growth remains positive, video erosion is slowing and is very minor compared to the high-ARPU US market. The reduced cost to extend network means that the pace of new cable build is growing, and cable businesses are attracting high valuations in the accelerating M&A market. The pace of innovation remains high, and the Congress showcased this, with developments in the traditional cable technologies as well as a recognition that the future would lie in a world of IP video and data-led artificial intelligence processes. Marketing and products are not immune from evolution either – the days when bundling and triple play were the holy grail are over, and there is a recognition that personalisation, ease of use and content aggregation are needed to retain customers whose behaviour and desires are adapting to a digital world.

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Broadband Industry Practices, WC Docket No. 07-52 Dear Ms. Dortch: On April 21, on behalf of Vuze, Inc. (“Vuze”), the undersigned e-mailed the attached material to Aaron Goldberger and Ian Dillner, both legal advisors to Chairman Kevin J. Martin. The material reflects the results of a recent study conducted by Vuze, in which Vuze created and made available to its users a software plug-in that measures the rate at which network communications are being interrupted by reset messages. The Vuze plug-in measures all network interruptions, and cannot differentiate between reset activity occurring in the ordinary course and reset activity that is artificially interposed by a network operator. While Vuze, therefore, has drawn no firm conclusions from its network monitoring study, it believes the results are significant enough to raise them with network operators and commence a dialog regarding their network management practices. Accordingly, Vuze has sent the attached letters to four of the network operators whose rate of reset activity appeared to be higher than that of many others. While Vuze continues to believe that Commission involvement in this Marlene H.
