- 13862: Cable Modems and ADSL
- ... Personal computers are seldom located in a home adjacent to the television, or television coaxial cabling. Personal computers, especially ones desiring Internet access, typically sit near a telephone line. Cable modems will usually require some new wiring in the home. ADSL for PC access may at some circumstances be installed without new wiring. The exact distribution of these circumstances will not be known until many units have been deployed. Several efforts are underway to standardize cable modems, particularly ones by IEEE 802.14 and Cable Labs (now joined by ADL in Cambr 616 idge).

- 13867: Fiber Optics
- ... drop portion of the network is exclusively coaxial cable; however, cable operators and equipment vendors alike are exploring ways to make fiber an economic alternative to coax. Cable TV operators are evaluating a variety of new services, among the most promising are: alternative access, personal communications networks, video on demand, interactive services, digital compression, ATM, optical amplifiers and 1550nm transmission, erbium- doped fiber amplifiers and wavelength division multiplexers. Cable TV system architectures have undergone a rapid evolution in recent years. As these architectures evolve, fiber is being incorporated into existing systems, and new architectures are being developed specifically to maximize its advantages.
