SCTE’s day-long, pre-show workshops held on Monday – “Creating the Cable Generalist” and “DOCSIS 3.1 Engineering” — drew more than 400 registrants.
“Wherever I went this year, there was enthusiasm about how SCTE Cable-Tec Expo is breaking new ground in issues that are essential to the future of cable,” said Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of SCTE, in a statement. “I’m pleased at how the industry responded to this event and am particularly grateful to Michael Powell (NCTA CEO; to Pat Esser (Cox president), Kevin Hart (Cox EVP and CTO) and their teams at Cox Communications for their overwhelming support; and to CableLabs for their work in creating our standing-room-only DOCSIS 3.1 symposium.”
