In the news

The Broadband Bob report (www.catv.org/bbb-report) had this in the 9/13/99 edition of the highly recommended weekly newsletter:

"Rolf Launches Cable-Modems.Org

Rolf Ostergaard has launched a fine new web site featuring his detailed study of cable modem technology, a list of industry books and net resources, a photo gallery of DOCSIS certified cable modems, an archive of articles about the standards battle in Europe as well as other good stuff."

The cable modem tutorial had actually been on-line since the start of 1998, but the cable-modems.org domain name and the layout was new.

And again in the 3/8/2002 edition:

"Cable-Modems.Org Publishes Article on Uncapping

Rolf V. Ostergaard of Cable-Modems.Org has recently published an article on uncapping that reveals methods used by subscribers to expand cable modem service bandwidth caps and methods used by cable ISPs to prevent the practices."
