In part 2 of Communications Technology Associate Editor Mike Robuck‘s visit to Cox Communications Las Vegas, Mike discusses Cox’s digital phone launch with John Fountain, VP of technology for Cox Business Services. Find out how Cox stays on the cutting edge with its voice product, from strategy to technology to lessons learned and future growth.

Fountain discusses tiered service levels of phone; bandwidth management and node-splitting; why Cox Vegas is one of the few cable systems to launch a DSL product; the Sprint wireless joint venture; and other initiatives that differentiate its phone service from the 23 CLECs it’s competing with the Las Vegas area.
