Data
April 1995: A 90-page RFP, targeted at high-speed data systems, is issued, seeking proposals for a standalone data delivery system. Specific areas of interest include headend, network operations and control, encryption, tiering of best-effort and guaranteed speed services, billing, and cable modems. Vendor responses were reviewed at the 1995 Summer Conference, in Keystone, Colo.
December 1995: CableLabs Executive Committee members and CEOs of some of the leading industry manufacturers announce at The Western Show they have agreed to specify ways in which cable networks and data equipment will interoperate. This is a milestone announcement of an intent to have a common data platform for cable high-speed Internet access.

1995: Multiple Services Compatibility Testing program begins, supervised by David Eng/CableLabs, and TCI. In the test, signals for TV, PCS telephony, high-speed data, and wired telephony were combined and tested to see how they'd respond to distortions and powering problems. Results were shared with the vendor community.
