Triple-Play Service & Infrastructure Upgrade Report From MRG Reveals Plans for Major US MSOs 2005-2008

Infrastructure upgrades are required in order to handle the demand for converged services, such as VoIP, high-speed data, VOD, home digital video recording and other interactive services.

MRG's report also says that MSOs are confronting the problem of the "silo effect" -- complications and costs from running simultaneous IP and non-IP systems.
