Cable CFOs Brazen about Telco Competition

The National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NTCA) Show in Atlanta started with Cablevision CFO Michael Huseby saying not only will cable beat back the telcos, it will "take their broadband customers away."

According to CableFAX Daily, while he�s not happy with statewide franchising bills, Comcast CFO John Alchin doesn�t appear to be too concerned with telco competition in the video arena. The telcos �have a long road ahead of them� before they can be a viable competitor on video, he said, with the biggest challenges being �operational, like digging up the streets� and convincing customers to accept �a me-too, fourth-in-the-market product.�

Alchin and other CFOs speaking on the opening-day panel contend cable�s decade-long battle with DBS providers has bolstered its products, marketing and operational strength, putting the cable industry in a great position to compete with the telcos. Cable�s �hitting on all cylinders,� Huseby said.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
