Editor's Corner

2012 Year In Review: Cable begins migration to IP video

By Steve Donohue Comment | Forward | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn

Steve Donohue, FierceCableFrom next-generation video services such as Comcast's Xfinity X1 to apps running on Microsoft's Xbox 360 and connected TVs from Samsung, cable operators began transitioning to IP video delivery this year. We're taking a look at some of the biggest trends of 2012 in this special issue of FierceCable.

Cox Communications, Cablevision and Time Warner Cable joined Comcast in developing cloud-based interactive program guides. And cable operators, satellite TV providers and programmers stepped up efforts to let subscribers use tablet and smartphone apps to channel surf and view companion programming and advertising that is synchronized to video playing on a TV.

Cable operators posted steady growth in high-speed data subscriptions and began to introduce usage-based broadband packages as viewing of TV shows and movies from Netflix and other over-the-top players picked up.

As Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen won FCC approval to build a broadband wireless network that he could use to challenge major broadband providers, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks and Cox Communications opted to sell Advanced Wireless Spectrum to Verizon Wireless. The MSOs also teamed up with Verizon to promote digital cable and wireless phone and data services and began developing new services through a joint innovation venture.

While pay TV providers began introducing next-generation productions, much of the publicity generated by the industry centered on battles between distributors, TV stations and sports networks over the rising cost of programming. That's a problem that has dogged the industry for years and will continue in 2013 as more contracts between pay TV providers, broadcasters and cable networks come up for renewal.

There are other key trends that we will continue to track next year, including introduction of CCAP (Converged Cable Access Platform) products and the development of the DOCSIS 3.1 spec, which could see operators one day deliver broadband speeds of 10 gigabits per second.

It's also been a big year for FierceCable, as we doubled our traffic and saw our stories get picked up by media outlets around the world. We plan to take our coverage of the industry to a new level in 2013. But first, we'll take a break over the holidays. FierceCable won't publish its daily e-letter next week. Your next issue will arrive on Wednesday, Jan. 2. Have a great holiday.--Steve

Today's Top News

1. 2012 Year In Review: Usage-based broadband launched by Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Suddenlink

By Steve Donohue Comment | Forward | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn

Usage based billingThe news: Several cable operators began experimenting with usage-based broadband pricing, including Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Suddenlink Communications.

Subscribers in Texas were the first to see usage-based billing emerge in February, when Time Warner Cable and Suddenlink rolled out different usage-based models. Suddenlink set a monthly usage cap of 250 GB for its cable modem service, and began charging subscribers who exceed the cap fees of $10 for every 50-gigabyte increment that exceeds the cap.

Time Warner Cable took a less aggressive approach, opting to offer light Internet users $5 monthly discounts on its high-speed service if they download less than 5 GB of data each month. Subscribers that choose the usage-based option and exceed 5GB of data are charged $1 per each gigabyte of data that exceeds the cap, with the overage fees capped at $25 monthly. CEO Glenn Britt said the MSO would expand the usage-based option to systems in every state it operates except Hawaii by the end of 2012.

Comcast has been testing two different usage-based pricing models. After increasing its monthly data cap nationwide in May from 250 GB to 300 GB, its Nashville, Tenn., system began charging incremental fees of $10 per 50 GB to subscribers that exceed the cap. In October, Comcast's Tucson, Ariz., system began offering data caps that are based on the tier of service a subscriber orders. Subscribers who take its Blast package get a monthly cap of 350 GB, while customers who order its Extreme 105 Mbps tier receive a cap of 500 GB.

Regulators sent mixed messages about usage-based broadband. During a Q&A with National Cable & Telecommunications CEO Michael Powell at The Cable Show convention in May, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski supported the idea. "Experimentation in this area is completely appropriate," Genachowski said. But during a speech in September, Genachowski said he was concerned that the usage-based approach could impact online video providers such as Netflix. "I'm concerned about practices that harm competition, including from over-the-top providers; unnecessarily depress broadband usage; or reduce incentives to increase broadband speeds and capacity," Genachowski said in an address at Vox Media headquarters in Washington, D.C.

And Republican FCC commissioner Ajit Pai warned in early December that the FCC could attempt to regulate usage-based broadband pricing next year if its new network neutrality rules are upheld by an appeals court.

Why it's significant: Broadband Internet access has become the hottest product in the triple-play packages marketed by cable MSOs. While most cable operators continue to lose basic video subscribers each quarter, they are growing cable modem customers. Usage-based broadband pricing could help operators grow revenue and ensure that heavy users of Netflix and other over-the-top video services don't drain network resources. Deploying broadband usage meters in cable homes could also help cable operators introduce prepaid broadband services.

While cable operators are poised to grow revenue from usage-based pricing, they face increased scrutiny from regulators who are being lobbied by Netflix and other Internet video players that have complained about data caps and usage-based pricing.

2. 2012 Year In Review: Cable operators team with DirecTV, Dish to fight broadcasters

By Steve Donohue Comment | Forward | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn

Cable in 2012The news: It was one of the worst years ever when it came to cable operators and satellite TV providers clashing publicly with broadcasters and sports networks over the rising cost of programming.

Time Warner Cable subscribers in Corpus Christi, Texas, began 2012 without access to the local NBC affiliate after it refused demands to pay increased retransmission-consent fees. The MSO went five months without the station, with local subscribers missing NBC's coverage of the Super Bowl in February. Time Warner Cable handed out 21,000 antennas to Texas subscribers during the dispute, and even teamed up with rival DirecTV to host Super Bowl parties in two sports bars that were DirecTV customers.

Verizon subscribers lost local broadcast programming for the first time since it flipped the switch on FiOS TV in 2005 when Block Communications pulled its stations in Albany and Syracuse, N.Y., and Harrisburg, Pa., in January. Several other broadcasters pulled their feeds from cable operators in an attempt to squeeze increased retransmission-consent fees, including Hearst TelevisionSunbeam TelevisionBayou City BroadcastingNorthwest BroadcastingTribune Broadcasting and Prime Cities Broadcasting.

Sen. John Kerry (D.-Mass) interceded in the Sunbeam-DirecTV dispute, after the broadcaster threatened to block subscribers in Boston from watching the New England Patriots playing the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

The disputes saw cable operators team up with DirecTV and Dish Network to do much more than host football viewing parties. The American Cable Association, which represents mostly small and mid-sized cable operators, partnered with Time Warner Cable, DirecTV and Dish to lobby for retransmission-consent reform.

Multichannel providers also clashed with sports programmers. Time Warner Cable and MSG battled over how much the MSO should pay to carry games from the New York Knicks and the National Hockey League. It went nearly seven weeks without MSG, with MSG and Time Warner Cable finally settling on a deal in February as they faced pressure from New York politicians.

Time Warner Cable attempted to take control of sports programming costs at its Los Angeles system by signing a $3 billion, 20-year rights deal for Los Angeles Lakers games. The MSO used the Lakers deal to launch Time Warner Cable SportsNet in September, and clashed with cable operators, telcos and satellite providers over carriage fees.

The rocketing costs of sports programming drew feedback from National Cable & Telecommunications Association CEO Michael Powell and Liberty Media chairman John Malone. While Powell warned that rising costs to carry games from the NFL and other leagues could spark government intervention, Malone said consumers may prompt change by eventually dropping pay TV subscriptions in favor of online video from Netflix and other providers. "People will watch and pay for what they want, it is kind of inevitable," Malone told The Los Angeles Times.

Why it's significant: With sports now representing about 50 percent of the programming costs for multichannel distributors, cable operators and satellite TV providers face increased complaints from subscribers who are struggling to pay bills and argue that they shouldn't be forced to pay for programming packages that include ESPN and regional sports networks if they aren't sports fans. While sports networks continue to gamble on the value of sports programming by signing long-term, multibillion-dollar rights deals for professional and college sports, they may face challenges paying for those deals if more cable and satellite TV subscribers cancel their subscriptions and opt to rely on Internet video programming for home entertainment.

Technology may also have an impact on negotiations between TV station owners and pay TV distributors. Retransmission-consent reform may not be a priority in Congress. But if Internet video players such as Aereo and Boxee succeed in providing viewers with platforms that combine online video with free local broadcast programming captured with over-the-air antennas, station owners may find it more difficult to squeeze increased fees from cable and satellite TV providers.



3. 2012 Year In Review: Cable embraces connected TVs and the second screen

By Steve Donohue Comment | Forward | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn

Connected TV in 2012There was no shortage of stories this year about connected TVs, video gateway devices and cable operators and programmers delivering interactive programming and advertising to tablets, smartphones and other "second screen" devices.

Cisco closed its $5 billion acquisition of NDS--a deal the company said would help cable operators use hybrid video gateways to transcode traditional QAM channels into IP video that can be securely delivered to tablets and other IP devices in subscriber homes.

Time Warner Cable said it would deploy video gateways that can deliver IP video to connected TVs and devices and recruited a principal architect to help it introduce "next generation content discovery and video distribution platforms."

Comcast expanded the rollout of its hybrid Xfinity X1 platform to several major markets and began licensing its Reference Design Kit to cable technology vendors--a software platform that may see other MSOs introduce advanced cloud-based services similar to X1.

Cable operators began to support apps on devices such as Microsoft's Xbox 360 and connected TVs from Samsung, which let subscribers access HBO Go and other networks that delivered content in HTML5. Comcast, Verizon's FiOS TV and AT&T's U-verse TV launched Xbox apps that allow subscribers to watch a limited number of cable networks without using a set-top, and Time Warner Cable began letting subscribers access HBO Go through Roku's streaming video set-tops. ESPN worked with Microsoft to deliver its WatchESPN app to Xbox owners who are subscribers of Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks and Midcontinent Communications.

Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt may have rattled some technology vendors when he predicted set-tops would eventually become extinct. But executives at Cisco and Motorola maintained that their customer premise equipment wouldn't go the way of the dodo bird and that they would benefit from the transition to gateways that can shuttle video to inexpensive IP set-tops deployed by cable operators and connected devices purchased by consumers.

Samsung and other CE manufacturers demonstrated apps at the Consumer Electronics Show and The Cable Show that can deliver subscription video programming from Comcast, Cablevision, DirecTV and other pay TV providers, and Verizon launched an app for Samsung TVs that delivers 26 networks from its FiOS TV lineup.

It was a seminal year for ACR (automatic content recognition) technology that can deliver interactive programming and advertising to connected TVs and subscribers who have installed companion apps on smartphones and tablet computers. Companion apps NBC built for the Olympics helped it shatter multiplatform viewing records, and advertisers turned to Shazam to deliver interactive advertising to viewers watching the Super Bowl. Comcast even demonstrated how it could integrate Shazam's ACR technology with its X1 platform to help subscribers discover new content.

Interactive TV technology vendor Ensequence expanded into the connected TV space, striking a deal with Sony that will see it deliver interactive programming and advertising to connected TVs.

Why it's significant: The transition cable operators are making to focus on delivering IP video to multiple devices and set-tops in subscriber homes will help reduce capital spending. Rather than deploy multiple DVRs in subscriber homes, providers will be able to deploy a single gateway device containing six or more tuners capable of delivering video on any IP device. And the introduction of ACR technology and second-screen applications could see programmers improve the delivery of interactive content and advertising to viewers with connected TVs, tablets and mobile phones.

While cable operators still face challenges securing multiplatform rights from programmers, advances such as the Xbox 360 apps introduced by Comcast, Verizon and AT&T could drive increased viewing from consumers who can navigate programming with an improved user interface, using TVs that don't need to be connected to a cable set-top.



4. 2012 Year In Review: Verizon partners with major cable MSOs

By Steve Donohue Comment | Forward | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn

2012 in reviewThe news: Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and Bright House Networks kicked off joint marketing promotions with Verizon Wireless in dozens of markets in which subscribers who ordered new Verizon Wireless and cable products could earn Visa debit cards and discounts on premium networks and DVR rentals.

The marketing partnerships were tied to spectrum deals that Verizon and the cable MSOs signed in late 2011. While the FCC and Department of Justice didn't approve the spectrum and marketing deals until August, that didn't stop Verizon and Comcast from launching their promotions in the beginning of the year.

Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House also agreed to create a joint innovation lab focused on creating next-generation products that will rely on digital cable programming and the Verizon Wireless 4G network and mobile devices. The Verizon-cable deals sparked a backlash from consumer groups that complained the agreements signaled an end to fierce competition between the cable operators and Verizon for triple-play customers.

Why it's significant: By offering new customers debit cards at up to $400 in value, the major cable MSOs and Verizon may be able to target subscribers of DirecTV, AT&T and other providers. The partnerships also give a bigger retail presence to the cable MSOs and Verizon, who are marketing each others' products in retail stores.

But the biggest impact of the Verizon-cable deals may be seen in years to come from the joint innovation lab, which could see Verizon and the cable MSOs integrate their platforms in ways that could allow the companies to deliver targeted programming and advertising to subscribers watching programming on any device.



5. 2012 Year In Review: Program guides get smarter

By Steve Donohue Comment | Forward | Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn

Cable program guides 2012The news: Several cable MSOs deployed new interactive program guides that suggest program titles to subscribers based on viewing habits, and guides that respond to voice commands and gesture controls also began to emerge.

Comcast turned heads at The Cable Show convention in May when it launched its Xfinity X1 service in Boston, which makes it easier for subscribers to navigate between live TV, video-on-demand and DVR programming. The cloud-based guide uses a recommendation engine to suggest programming and comes with an X1 Remote app for Apple iOS devices that will soon allow subscribers to channel surf with voice commands.

Cox Communications launched a new version of its Trio guide that uses a recommendation engine from ThinkAnalytics to suggest titles to subscribers based on their viewing habits, and Liberty Global deployed the same recommendation engine on its Horizon TV platform.

Cablevision began rolling out a cloud-based Optimum Program Guide in October which features the interface it has designed for mobile devices and PCs. Subscribers can also rate a program by giving it one to four stars and receive program suggestions based on the ratings.

AT&T (NYSE: T) was the first U.S. multichannel provider to integrate voice controls with the launch of its U-verse Easy Remote app, which also accepts gesture controls similar to Comcast's app. And Google has showcased an advanced program guide that responds to voice commands with the launch of its Google Fiber TV service in Kansas City, where it is supplying subscribers with Nexus 7 tablets in place of traditional remote controls.

While major providers have customized their own program guides this year, several small and mid-sized cable operators signed deals with TiVo to use its DVRs and program guides, including Mediacom Communications, GCI, Cable One and Midcontinent Communications.

Why it's significant: Most cable operators offer subscribers thousands of TV shows and movies on video-on-demand platforms, in addition to hundreds of live TV channels. But most viewers only watch a handful of favorite networks. Adding content recommendation engines to interactive program guides can help subscribers discover new programs and drive increased VOD revenue for operators. Integrating advanced features such as voice and gesture controls may also drive increased usage and could help operators compete with providers offering subscribers traditional remote controls.
