Late December is traditionally a time for reflecting on the year just past while gearing up for the new one to come. And so that's what we're doing. This year gave us a lot to think about -- and now that we have a little time to digest it all, it provides a pretty good snapshot of what was important to cable's tech/engineering community over the last 12 months.Here follow a few top 10 lists of what our audience (i.e., you) found most interesting and important this year, based on data from our website and e-letters.Top 10 FeaturesJust a few years ago, we used to say that the two chief ingredients of a publication were dead trees and features. Now'days, we've largely quit killing trees in favor of inconveniencing large numbers of electrons, but the need for features remains. They're a pub's reason for being, its heart and soul. And if the pub's working well, those features reflect the interests of you, the audience, and provide a dandy barometer of what's important to the industry as a whole. This year's top 10 features follow that model exactly: IPv6, DOCSIS, EAS, EBIF, cell backhaul, and ways to preserve and enhance the value of the HFC network.
