Cable Companies to Use Blockchain?


CableLabs, the organization formed by cable and Internet providers to spearhead the industries' technological developments was formed almost thirty years ago. It has just recently posted a blog about adapting the cutting edge tech of the blockchain to the cable industry.

The blog really just spoke in general terms about how the distributed ledger that is the blockchain could help Internet of Things (IoT) security, record keeping, privacy rights and much more. They called 2018, the year of the Blockchain! Steve Goeringer even said that cable companies should probably create their own blockchain.

Cable and Internet provider, Comcast Cable has formed a blockchain crew and are looking at using blockchain for automation.

Phone, Internet and video provider, AT&T is also partnering with Amino Payments for better digital payment transparency.
