With his know-how and guidance and tireless work of many individuals and 100’s of vendors the Data Over Cable Services Interface Specification (DOCSIS) was created thru CableLabs (first global standards in 50 years) and remains the basis for almost all cable modem deployments worldwide. By 2003, the DOCSIS initiative had created a multi-billion dollar Broadband opportunity for cable operators, a $35 modem for the industry (a major price reduction from $18,000 in ‘88), and a new formula for technological innovation. 950+ million cable modems were deployed by 2010.
