14:30 – 15:15    Panel II: Getting to 10G with Fiber and PON
        Like DOCSIS 4.0 and DAA over HFC, Next-Gen PON over FTTP will clearly be part of cable's future too as operators install more fiber lines in their access networks and extend their fiber links further. No matter which version of PON they may be deploying, cablecos are increasingly leveraging this technology to meet surging bandwidth demands and slash network operating costs. What are operators' latest PON plans? How well do PON and DOCSIS play together? Will PON eventually overtake DOCSIS in cable networks? Our team of experts will ponder PON's position and prospects.
