Hello. Sorry for the late posting. This week presentation about Time Warner Cable was very interesting, but it did not reveal all the possible opportunities of company's expansion. It is not minus as teams agreed on exact problems to discuss, but to mention that there are some more interesting ways of expansion could be useful. But, anyway, I will mention one of them later in the article analysis. It was also an interesting idea for cable companies to merge together to fulfill one very expensive project. Even though some of my classmates doubt that I believe it is possible. We can see the example of railroad companies, which cooperated in building railroad centuries ago. For one company it was impossible option. But lets' come back to Time Warner expansion possibilities.

This article was interesting for me as it talked about expanding into business user sector, which was not mentioned during the presentation. And it is also mentioned Internet TV, which does not require creating separate internal television network. So, Time Warner moved toward business users offering them special BusinessLink.tv, which pipes 10 news channels to the PCs of business customers via high-speed cable modem connections. It is offered only in New York and New Jersey so far, an area with 1.4 million subscribers total. Time Warner Cable Business Class is using a combination of cable modem connections and IP multicast to deliver the service, which requires a "core" LAN bandwidth capacity of 4 Mbit/s. The service is reliable, secure, and provides up-to-the-minute live news without hampering the existing IT infrastructure." I believe that this market segment will develop very fast and rather promising for the company to maintain. Constant and updated information is key factor for each business today and to get it fast and easy without leaving work place and disconnecting from working PC is crucial for modern business people.
