Comcast is leading the charge in DOCSIS 3.0 deployment, saying they'll have 20% of their footprint wired by the end of this year. Most other providers, however, seem fairly content to take a wait-and-see attitude on the technology. While many Charter customers are still waiting (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/92167) for Charter to unveil their DOCSIS 1.x 16Mbps tier, the company says they'll start testing DOCSIS 3.0 technology in the second half of this year (http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=147135&site=cdn). Actual deployment won't occur until 2009.
