[asterisk-biz] Anyone experienced in cable telephony?

[C. Savinovich]

Analog POTS?... don't think so because that would imply having to use dslams
(pardon me if I am wrong)... they already purchased the cable modems and lo
and behold, the cable modems don't have telephony ports.  Definitely the
medium is IP, where we can probably use 3 devices (one router, one cable
modem, and one ata).  The part where I am not too clear is on the provider
side, what equipment handles the partitioning, et al.

That depends on what the intended medium and transport is.  Are they 
looking to provide analog POTS (i.e. FXO ports broken out of RJ-11 
jacks)?  Are they looking to get it to the customer as IP or use some 
sort of voice-over-RF contraption like some cable MSOs in the US use in 
certain parts?
