It's Hardly Business as Usual for Cox
It's not now, nor has it ever really been, "business as usual" for Cox Business, the commercial arm of the nation's third largest MSO, Cox Communications. That's why the news that the business unit surpassed the 200,000-customer mark was somewhat ho hum. How they're going to keep growing beyond that number, though, is anything but boring.
Cox has been in the business of business long enough to know that delivering just voice and data services via fiber for large enterprises and HFC for small-medium businesses (SMBs) won't stand out among an increasingly competitive crowd of providers. To juice up its business, it's looking at things like commercial video beyond traditional cable TV entertainment; putting more emphasis on nailing the hospitality space, especially using what's being learned from its hotel-rich Vegas franchise; and how DOCSIS 3.0 and other bandwidth use schemes will draw more mid-sized companies into the fold....

Comcast Prepared to Play in SMB Space
The usually secretive Comcast - at least until it's ready to show its hand - has revealed what it's been up to in the small-medium business (SMB) commercial customer space for the past year. According to an informed party who is, of course, prejudiced, the nation's biggest MSO is making a serious move in an increasingly crowded space.
"I'm impressed with the amount of work they've done understanding this market and then putting together the packages that are going to make them successful here," said Michael O'Hara, general manager of Microsoft's communications sector.
As previously noted, O'Hara is prejudiced - because Microsoft has a lot to gain from Comcast's aggressive SMB move. The two behemoths said this week that they are working together to give SMBs (defined by Comcast as businesses with 20 or fewer employees) a suite of Microsoft Communications products. Comcast, in taking the model the extra step, will host the services and provide 24/7 support. Microsoft, which already has 100 other multi-sized telecom customers doing similar things in the space, will "sit in the applications space," O'Hara said....

It's a Small Business World
Cable claims (and who are we to dispute what cable claims?) that it’s focused on the small-medium business (SMB) sector because the big telcos - Verizon, AT&T and Qwest - aren’t. Apparently someone forgot to tell that to Qwest, which this week...
