Abstract :
The broad-band communications industry is small and fractionated (about 3100 cable television systems serving 8.5 million subscribers in the U.S.), but has a high potential for growth by offering a wide variety of communications services. If this large number of systems is to collectively provide nationwide services, performance and interconnection standards will be essential. In this paper we note relevant existing standards and examine highlights of ongoing standards-making activities.
