An NCTA survey of the top 10 MSOs showed that more than 5,000 CableCARDs were installed as of mid-November 2004. As of June 2005, more than 44,000 CableCARDs had been installed into the new Digital Cable Ready sets. By February 28, 2006, more than 141,000 CableCARDs have been deployed by the top 10 MSOs.

As of December 6, 2007, the five largest MSOs – which serve nearly 80% of the cable subscribers in the country – have deployed over 271,000 CableCARDs. When the CableCARDs deployed by the next five largest companies are included, there have been over 300,000 CableCARDs deployed for use in UDCPs by the ten largest cable operators who serve approximately 90% of the cable subscribers in the country.

Since the “integration ban” went into effect on July 1, 2007, those 10 companies have already deployed more than 2,255,000 operator-supplied set-top boxes with CableCARDs. In less than six months, cable operators have deployed more than seven times as many CableCARD-enabled devices than the total number of CableCARDs requested by customers in the last four years.

In addition to this significant deployment of CableCARDs, as of December 6, 2007, 26 consumer electronics (“CE”) manufacturers have had over 579 Unidirectional Digital Cable Ready Product (“UDCP”) models (such as Digital Cable Ready DTV sets) certified or verified for use with CableCARDs.
