A design center that demonstrates technology and products is a part of the

first goes through the IP network into the usual PSTN lines and back into the

IP-based phones, all enabled by Cisco products. Products like cable modems and

cable head-ends were also on display. And according to Cisco officials, most

cable distribution companies in the country like Zee Telefilms, and Siticable

who have been experimenting with providing Internet over cable have been using

Cisco technology.
