`CableLabs
`
`Inc.
`Cable Television Laboratories,
`form,
`short
`(in
`CableLabs) is a not-for-profit innovation and research and
`development lab founded in 1988 by American cable operators.
`System operators from around the world are eligible to be members.
`Members dues are based on revenue generated from the cable
`services and businesses they sell to consumers. Incorporated as a
`non-profit 501(c)(6), CableLabs' board of directors is composed of
`the chief executive officers of member companies, thus affording
`business and strategic insight into the technology development
`process.
`
`CableLabs works with its members to determine what service
`requirements are to be supported by new technologies and new
`services. CableLabs then seeks to support those requirements
`through open interface specifications, written in tandem with
`members and suppliers. The specifications, in turn, take much of the
`guess work out of vendors' engineering decisions as to where cable
`operators are moving with many of their new businesses.

`
`This collaborative process is designed to get products to market
`more quickly and at lower price points due to global economies of
`scale. Innovation is driven by a multiplicity of working relationships
`between suppliers, vendors, and CableLabs staff: Visiting engineers and contributing engineers from
`these vendor organizations create a pool of thousands of individuals providing innovative input to the
`work performed at CableLabs. Development undertaken at CableLabs and endorsed by the cable
`industry has led to relationships among companies never before known within the cable market.
`CableLabs' flagship example of adding value to the cable industry is through guiding the collaborative
`specification authorship of the DOCSIS suite of specifications.
