    From Silicon Republic
    Mohan confirmed that the company is moving to upgrade its network to be capable of carrying digital telephony as well as broadband and digital TV. “The intention is to roll out the full triple-play package and we have placed a priority on this.

    “In terms of digital telephony, we are planning to conduct trials in the near future. The product that we are developing sits nicely on top of our broadband infrastructure.”
    Also of interest to ntl subcribers is this:
    While Mohan didn’t discuss the acquisition, he gave an insight into what an upgrade of NTL’s existing infrastructure could involve.

    "The existing standard for cable in Ireland is DOCSIS 1.0. We are planning to conduct trials on DOCSIS 2.0 and will deploy it if it passes the trial stage. DOCSIS will enable us to launch the extreme broadband products deployed over cable in Holland and Austria - speeds ranging from 10Mb per second up to 30Mb per second - that's the truly phenomenal territory we are heading into. We see a great future in terms of what cable can do for broadband speeds."
    That's a lot of talk of what the upgrade could involve we'll watch closely what does actually happen.
    At the end of May this year ntl announced it's entry into VoIP - they're still talking about it.
    It'll be very interesting to see what and when ntl's VoIP offering will be.
