Cable & Telecommunications (MSOs)
Adelphia	Just kidding...there are no rumors we are aware of about the re-emergence of Adelphia.
Bresnan	They may be small, but Bresnan is very forward thinking.
Cable One	A small but impressive cable company.
CableVision	When other MSOs thought Digital meant only Moto/SA, these guys proved DVB works!!!
Charter	This company started through the desires of Paul Allen, legend extraordinaire
Comcast	The largest Cable Company in North America. Enough said...
Cox	One of the largest Cable Companies, with Headquarters in Atlanta.
MediaCom	We love their Floridas systems (primarily due to weather).
Rogers	The Canadian equivalent of Comcast.
Shaw	An impressively technical canadian MSO.
Time Warner	As the impressive number two Cable Company, here's one to watch!!!

Digital Headend Equipment Manufacturers
Arris	Who would have thought Arris (a DOCSIS Equip. maker) would attempt the purchase of Tandberg. Will Erricson win the battle???.
BigBand	Its hard to argue with a company that single handedly created the Switched Digital Video Broadcast industry. They sell "rate shapers", QAM boards and MPEG Encoders.
Blonder Tongue	Very popular in the analog days (remember those), Blonder Tongue still sells a number of products.
Cisco (SA)	And we thought Scientific Atlanta was a big company. Cisco sells Digital Headends, dishes, receivers, set tops, DOCSIS, switches, routers and so much more.
EGT	A popular MPEG Encoder manufacturer. BigBand also resells rebranded EGT Encoders under their own name.
Harmonic	Its safe to say this company isnt going anywhere yet. They sell plant actives, as well as MPEG Encoders, QAMs, and other Digital Headend Equipment.
Motorola	Once the largest in the industry, Cisco now rivals them. Motorola sells Digital Headends, receivers, set tops, DOCSIS, not to mention those cute cell phones.
RGB	Founded by the creators of the Terayon (iMedia) "rate shaper", this little company quickly made a mark. They sell rate shapers, QAMs, decoders and more.
Terayon	Once a powerhouse in Cable Modems, DOCSIS, "rate shaping", Sat. Receivers, they only have a few products left. Look for them to disappear quickly in a purchase.

Testing Equipment Manufacturers
Sencore	An excellent resource for MPEG Analyzers, Test HDTV Receivers, Signal meters and much more.
SunRise Telecom	Sunrise Telecom has quickly become the defacto standard for new Spectrum Analyzer and QAM Analyzer purchases.
Trilthic	Trilthic offers a number of pieces of test equipment, including signal meters, return path test meters and DOCSIS testing equipment.

EAS Equipment Manufacturers
Monroe	Once known for their video timers, the company has expanded into areas including EAS Encoders/Decoders.
Trilthic	The largest seller of EAS Encoders/Decoders, Trilthic also makes the list under Testing Equipment Manufacturers.
Triveni	Big in the broadcaster space, Triveni also offers an EAS Solution which involves using your existing Sage Encoder/Decoder or several others with a retrofitted server.
