It is also introducing for the first time extensive cost analysis of the various forms of AAAs, and comprehensive traffic (bandwidth) requirements analysis and forecasts affecting AAAs.

Recent activity should indicate that IPTV is here to stay. Then how can we have an IPTV report with the somewhat negative title of “IPTV — To Be or Not to Be?” The answer is in the details of the differences of how video is being implemented by the two major RBOCs.

| This report is a companion to the latest FTTP report. In this report we will use the forecasts in the new FTTP report to develop equipment requirements and fiber cable requirements for FTTP. The RBOCs, all three (now that the AT&T/BellSouth merger has been consummated) to greater or lesser extents, are now in the process of rolling out FTTP. Verizon has a monumental effort underway, and the other two are in various stages (lab tests, minor deployments or preparing massive rollouts) of deployment. The RBOCs have actually moved into the video business in a massive way. |

We have now been producing annual reports on FTTP since before the program was actually originated. This is the most comprehensive of those reports, and it has the most useful direct forecast information ever presented on FTTP. This latest incarnation of our efforts to keep our clients completely up-to-date on FTTP focuses on the substantial progress to date for FTTP, the changes we see coming, as well as our forecasts for the future - including for RBOCs not yet involved.
