Today's telecommunications marketplace has become highly robust, offering consumers a wide variety of choices, better value and exciting new services. These developments have arisen, in part, because of a regulatory framework that has fostered increasing competition and provided incentives for large-scale investments.

The rising tide of broadband services has provided a display of market forces at work, as innovation and creativity have flourished, bringing consumers a diverse and compelling array of content and applications.

There has been a decade-long trend of growth in the areas of multichannel video, Internet and wireless services. While cable companies have thrived, consumers have been the true winners, enjoying greater choice and higher value, along with an increasing ability to personalize services for their homes and lifestyles. The industry continues to drive these trends by steadily deploying a range of new products to meet consumer needs.

Quarterly results provide ample evidence that cable’s customers are enjoying the fruits of the industry’s transformation from a single service provider to a supplier of multiple broadband services.
