Louisville, Colorado, October 14, 2003—CableNET®, the broadband industry�s premiere technology showcase, has announced its list of about 45 broadband demonstrations in this year�s exhibit, including 14 in its interactive centerpiece. The exhibit is part of The Western Show at the Anaheim Convention Center December 2-5.

Now in its 11th year, CableNET magnifies the true value of broadband services by once again offering a hands-on experience with many of the most exciting interactive services now available.

Among the demonstrations are more than a dozen exhibits of interactive technology, including an end-to-end display of OpenCable™ Application Platform (OCAP™) technology from Advanced Digital Broadcast, Inc. Other highlights include a whole house video and multimedia distribution system from Entropic Communications and a PacketCable™-qualified call management server from Syndeo Corp. In addition, Go2BroadbandSM, in conjunction with the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM), will be demonstrating the consumer website used to support the cable industry�s latest service offerings.

The theme of this year�s original CableNET exhibit is Imagine That, and it will include displays of true broadband services and examples of how the evolving broadband technology has expanded to include more business-to-business solutions that keep cable services innovative and competitive. The entire CableNET® �03 exhibit will cover about 10,000 square feet on the Anaheim Convention Center show floor.

�This year�s CableNET continues our tradition of having a powerful demonstration of cable�s broadband might at The Western Show,� said Dr. Richard R. Green, CableLabs President and CEO. �We have worked hard to make this year�s demonstration the best ever.�

The CableNET exhibits have been co-sponsored by the California Cable & Telecommunications Association (CCTA) and Cable Television Laboratories (CableLabs®) as educational forums. They demonstrate the potential of the cable industry�s hybrid fiber/coaxial systems, and the expanding number of video, telecommunications, and entertainment applications such systems will deliver to cable customers.

�CableNET continues to provide this industry with a great vehicle for displaying what kinds of broadband services may be sent to consumers over cable�s broadband network,� said Spencer Kaitz, president, CCTA. �It�s an important forum that was launched at our show and which has greatly assisted companies, careers and products over the past decade. I am looking forward with great anticipation to seeing what new products and services this years� participants in CableNET are bringing to our industry.�
