He mentioned that this limitation is actually an \u201ciceberg\u201d for the cable industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While speaking at the Cable Next-Gen Technologies &amp; Strategies in Denver, Finkelstein urged telecommunication companies to deploy as much as fiber they can. However, some DOCSIS 3.1 backers demonstrated a few presentations, which suggested the use of advanced technologies might help in extending the utility of copper cable to the year 2040.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs you are pulling this fiber, this is the opportunity to build the network of the future \u2014 and our natural tendency, particularly of the outside plant folks, is to just over-lash yourself and pull it down and when you need to, you&#8217;ll pull it off the strand and connect it into a tap,\u201d Finkelstein said. \u201cAs we go through the planning, what are the things we are going to do that we are not going to regret doing or if we are going to regret it, make it a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also stated that there is also a possibility for operators mitigating the constraints in the upstream bandwidth by moving it from 1K-QAM to 4K-QAM. However, the operators will still face the difficulty of splitting their 500-home nodes into smaller lentils when they are pushing the fiber deeper into the networks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2227\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2227\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2227\" class=\"wp-image-2227 size-medium\" title=\"Internet Service \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Best Internet\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Best-Internet-2.jpg 633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>Cox Communications<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finkelstein further added that, \u201cOne of the things you need to give serious consideration to when you do these splitsDo you have a PON strategy or an FTTH strategy?
