THE EFFECT ON DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF A CHANGE IN TAX RATES IS RECOGNIZED IN OPERATIONS IN THE PERIOD THAT INCLUDES THE ENACTMENT DATE.

THE FOCUS OF THE INNOVATION WORK IN THE GROUP IS THE PURSUIT OF IDEAS WITH TRANSFORMATIONAL MARKET POTENTIAL IN THE NEXT 3-8 YEARS. (G) WIRED TECHNOLOGIES WIRED TECHNOLOGIES GROUP ACTIVITIES RELATE TO TWO SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE CABLE INDUSTRY: (1) WIRELINE COMMUNICATIONS AND (2) NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION. WIRELINE COMMUNICATIONS IS A BROAD CATEGORY THAT FOR PURPOSES OF THE WIRED TECHNOLOGIES GROUP ENCOMPASSES FIXED NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE IN BOTH THE ACCESS NETWORK AND IN-HOME NETWORK. ACCESS NETWORK WIRELINE COMMUNICATIONS INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFICATIONS AND SOLUTIONS FOR DOCSIS 3.1, FULL DUPLEX DOCSIS, DISTRIBUTED ACCESS ARCHITECTURES, AND PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORKING (PON). IN-HOME NETWORKING ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON THE USE OF MULTIMEDIA OVER COAX ALLIANCE (MOCA) TECHNOLOGIES OR OTHER SOLUTIONS FOR DELIVERING ETHERNET OVER COAXIAL NETWORK (EOC). THE GROUP ALSO FOCUSES ON SOLUTIONS RELATED TO BACKHAUL AND FRONT-HAUL TO AND FROM WIRELESS ACCESS POINTS. NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION RESEARCH FOCUSES ON SDN/NFV TECHNOLOGY, AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE CABLE INDUSTRY. THESE ACTIVITIES LEVERAGE DEVELOPMENTS IN "CLOUD" TECHNOLOGY TO INCREASE RELIABILITY, AGILITY, AND EFFICIENCY OF NETWORKS AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES. THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF CURRENT VIRTUALIZATION ACTIVITIES REVOLVES AROUND CREATING A STABLE ENVIRONMENT FROM WHICH TO LAUNCH VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTIONS, AND CREATING A COMMON ORCHESTRATION LAYER, BOTH OF WHICH CAN BE ADOPTED INDUSTRY-WIDE. (H) WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES THE WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES GROUPS ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON DRIVING THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT OF WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE CABLE ECOSYSTEM IN PARTICULAR, AND THE WIRELESS ECOSYSTEM AS A WHOLE. THE WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES OF INTEREST ARE WI-FI, 3G/4G/LTE AND ALSO 5G TECHNOLOGIES, IN ADDITION TO EMERGING WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES IN THE IOT SPACE. WI-FI EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THE WI-FI EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH THE END USER AND THE CABLE OPERATOR THROUGH SUPPORT OF INDUSTRY INITIATIVES SUCH AS CARRIER GRADE WI-FI, PASSPOINT, HOTSPOT 2.0, AND INTEGRATION WITH MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS WI-FI FIRST, WHERE THE WI-FI LINK WOULD BE THE PREFERRED METHOD FOR BROADBAND AND VOICE CONNECTIVITY, DEFERRING TO MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES WHERE WI-FI COVERAGE IS LACKING. THE PRIMARY AREA OF FOCUS FOR MOBILE WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES WAS ON DRIVING MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES INTO THE UNLICENSED BAND AND DRIVING COEXISTENCE FEATURES INTO THE TECHNOLOGY TO FACILITATE FAIR SHARING OF THE UNLICENSED SPECTRUM WITH INCUMBENT TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS WI-FI. 5G WIRELESS RESEARCH BASED ON MILLIMETER WAVE TECHNOLOGY TARGETING LOW LATENCY MULTI GBPS WIRELESS PERFORMANCE WAS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT AREA OF FOCUS DURING THE YEAR, LOOKING INTO THE FEASIBILITY OF USING FIXED 5G TECHNOLOGIES TO DELIVER HIGH SPEED DATA SERVICES TO END USERS.
