| Abstract | Much to the surprise of many cable operators, the industry's MPEG-4 era appears to have abruptly begun. Due to HBO's startling June announcement that it will begin beaming all 26 of its HBO and Cinemax multiplex channels in HDTV using the far more bandwidth-efficient video compression format, MSOs suddenly face the daunting challenge of figuring out how to carry all that MPEG-4 programming from cable's biggest network brand. With more than 34 million MPEG-2-only digital set-top boxes already deployed throughout the U.S., cable providers also face the unappetizing prospect that other major cable and broadcast networks, eager to save bandwidth and cut transport costs as well, will likely follow HBO's lead sooner rather than later. |
