`
`• Leadership of the project which developed the series of DOCSIS specifications for high
`speed residential cable modems. The scope of work included developing a roadmap and
`strategic framework for evolving the business from simple high speed internet services to
`multimedia broadband services combining voice, data, and secure electronic content delivery.
`This project was performed under contract to the MCNS consortium of cable TV operators
`representing 85% of the subscriber base in North America and has since been adopted by the
`United Nations as a global telecommunications standard.
`• For Next Generation Network Architecture llc (NGNA llc) consortium of Comcast, Cox, and
`Time-Warner; he managed the project that produced a five year planning horizon vision for
`the services and technology the cable industry will seek to deploy. The services and vision
`were then mapped to overall architectures impacting network elements in the back office,
`head-end, outside plant, and customer premises and documented in next generation network
`recommendations. The project involved coordination with over fifty senior technical staff in
`the three cable MSO sponsors as well as interactions with over 100 suppliers of systems,
`software, and products to the cable industry. The recommendations and findings were wide
`ranging including, for example: software defined downloadable conditional access (CA)
`systems, migration of the outside plant from low to mid split, bridging from network CA to
`in-home network digital rights management systems (DRM), and migration from 1way to
`2way digital TV.
`• For The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) he managed a project to engage NAB
`members in the development of new applications and services for over-the-air radio and
`television broadcasting. The project included developing a list and priority recommendations
`for research projects for consideration of funding by NAB which would explore the most
`promising candidate research projects.
`• For the cable operator consortium SpectrumCo he supported exploration of alternative
`means to provide competitive public network wireless services to existing cable and new
`

`
`customers. The project involves exploring 3rd and 4th generation wireless air-interface
`technologies and developing models that integrate capital expenditures forecasts with
`operating profits to develop financial performance perspectives of alternatives. A unique
`aspect of this project includes developing technology forecasts and estimates of subscriber
`equipment capable of supporting video and multimedia content delivery to handsets.
`
`• For COMCAST Cablevision of Philadelphia, he assisted in the development of a family of
`advanced two-way, residential digital services, including: development of system/service
`concepts and specification/selection of a range of equipment to provide this service. Detailed
`operating and balance sheet financial models of were developed to measure financial
`attractiveness of alternatives and use as a tool to select specific strategies.
`• For a division of Westinghouse in cooperation with Kansai Electric (Japan), he developed
`detailed business plans for the launch of cable TV and associated broadband services. The
`project involved demand studies to assess adoption and desires of consumers followed by
`recommendations on marketing, operating, and technology strategies.
`• For the Westinghouse Teleprompter Cable Company, he studied the market for a fiberoptic
`based institutional data network in Pittsburgh and developed the business and financial
`models to examine the financial attractiveness of offering these services.
`
`• For Times Mirror Cable TV, he developed business plans for the upgrade of selected systems
`to 2way capability and exploration of alternative telephony and other advanced services to be
`provided. I worked with the client to develop risk/reward perspectives for specific service
`options and develop a roadmap in order of most attractive priorities.
`• Analysis and recommendations in a study funded by CableLabs which led to today's hybrid-
`fiber coax architecture widely deployed worldwide for delivering broadband multimedia
`services to the home. The project involved developing forecasts of technology trends in
`parallel with projecting the business applications. Detailed proforma financial models were
`developed to make the cost/benefit of deploying this technology visible to the cable industry,
`and strategies were developed and recommended to the industry.
`• On behalf of a leading law firm representing TV-Com International, he supported the client as
`a damages expert in patent litigation related to digital conditional access and encryption
`technology employed to protect video entertainment delivered over cable television networks.
`This project required the develop of sophisticated financial models which demonstrated the
`value of the patents by computing the impact the technology had on the overall enterprise
`value of the defendant.
`• On behalf of a leading law firm representing IPPV Enterprises, he supported the client as
`damages expert in patent litigation related to secure key exchange and key management as
`employed by the defendant- Echostar. As above, this project required the develop of
`sophisticated financial models which demonstrated the value of the patents by computing the
`impact the technology had on the overall enterprise value of the defendant
`• Leadership of a project jointly funded by The National Association of Broadcasters and
`Maximum Service TV Association to analyze options to accelerate the adoption of digital TV

`
`technology by consumers. His recommendations were provided to the FCC and were the
`basis for the August 2002 report and order the FCC issued to mandate a roll-out schedule for
`digital TV receivers.
`
`(cid:149) • For Bell South he contributed to a major operations improvement project involving developing
`forecasts of the future competitive environment, customer needs, a strategy to compete, and
`new business models. These forecasts were then applied to develop business redesign
`recommendations and a list of new services offerings.
`(cid:149) • For Magnavox Cable TV (a division of N.A. Philips) he performed comparative cost and
`technical analysis of fiber optics versus conventional coax systems. This analysis was
`followed by the development of strategies and sales support materials to pitch the new HFC
`systems to cable TV operators.
`(cid:149) • I performed additional work for The Cable Television Laboratories in which he studied the
`application of remote and distributed antennas supporting microcellular PCS on hybrid fiber-
`coax cable TV systems. A key issue explored was the requirement for the fiber optic portion
`of the plant to carry the PCS carriers in analog form and deal with the wide dynamic range
`demands for inbound signals.
`(cid:149) • For a consortium of the major cable TV operators consisting of Comcast, Time Warner, Cox,
`and Rogers; he developed models for prediction of reliability of alternative HFC architectures
`and their suitability to provide local exchange voice services competitive with ILECs. The
`project required understanding the reliability specifications employed in conventional local
`exchange carrier telephone plant and the contributions between hardware, power, and
`workmanship failures. Each of three alternative fiber optic architectures for cable delivered
`voice telephony were studied and modeled to develop reliability predictions and
`recommendations were made as to which aspects of the three alternatives were the best
`choice for cable delivered voice telephony.
`(cid:149) • For GTE Systems he prepared a presentation on developing commercial opportunities for
`wide-bandwidth ATM switching. The scope of applications included: metro area network
`LAN interconnect, broadcast studio digital video routing and switching, and distributed
`switching for digital wireless personal communications networks. The goal of the project was
`to explore cable TV and other commercial applications for their military systems broadband
`switching technology.
`(cid:149) • For Bellcore (now Telcordia division of SAIC), he evaluated the R&D portfolio of their
`Applied Research Group. The main components of this portfolio were DWDM technologies
`for long haul interLATA communications as well as optical multiplexing components for
`passive optical network applications in cable TV and advanced broadband residential
`services. I provided R&D planning assistance on the allocation of funding and priorities to
`the R&D efforts and identified opportunities for securing intellectual property rights to
`critical R&D efforts.
`(cid:149) • For the ViaSat Division of Modern Times Group (Sweden) he developed business plans for
`the launch of a new service that bundled discounted long distance telephone services with
`direct to home satellite TV services and other interactive services including gambling via the
`set-top box.
