Facing cable's energy future

Like virtually every other industry, cable must confront issues of energy management and formulate strategies for the future. Ever-increasing demand on the broadband networks requires you to anticipate how best to meet customers' capacity requirements, while ensuring the availability and efficient use of energy. This means organizations like the SCTE must provide leadership and training in energy awareness and energy-saving methodologies. It means CableLabs must make energy leadership a part of their specifications design. The best way -- the only way -- to make this work is through collaboration.
