ZCorum released 2015 technology predictions from its VP of Technology Scott Helms. Those of particular interest to cable operators include such topics as Net Neutrality, WiFi, virtualization, DOCSIS 3.1, OTT video and IPv6.
FCC makes threatening Title II sounds, but instead bumps up minimum speed for broadband classification.
Community WiFi expansions will accelerate and more international deals will be announced this year.
NFV and SDN will start impacting networking vendor revenues. This may blunt the price of a DOCSIS 3.1 CMTS.
DOCSIS 3.1 deployments will get started in selected markets.
OTT video adoption will accelerate and face something of a backlash as more mainstream consumers give it a try, but the overall year will be very good for cord cutters.
