25 DOCSIS 3.1 Technology Cable continues to invest in broadband What s new in DOCSIS 3.1? More efficient modulation and FEC (OFDM, OFDMA, LDPC) Enables new downstream and upstream spectrum allocations Extensive re-use of DOCSIS 3.0 concepts Energy efficient operation through traffic-load based duty cycle Backward compatibility with earlier versions DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems can be upgraded before head-end and can coexist with older versions (1.1, 2.0, and 3.0) DOCSIS 3.1 specifications to be issued later this year Slide 25

26 DOCSIS 3.1 Summary So what does this mean for the business? With DOCSIS 3.1 technology cable operators can deploy Gigabit services over HFC Deploying DOCSIS 3.1 technology is more cost effective than building FTTH DOCSIS 3.1 technology enables a migration to higher bandwidth services based on market demand Consequently, capital investment can be made consistent with customer demand Slide 26

27 Wireless Market Can you say big? Consumers value mobility proven churn reduction US wireless market revenues greater than combined cable services Cable can leverage wired assets to enable wireless access to services Annual Revenue ($B) $300.0 $250.0 $200.0 $150.0 $100.0 $50.0 $0.0 U.S. Market Size Wireless Services Business Network Services Video-related Services Residential Network Services Slide 27
