(The groundbreaking deployment was the subject of two feature stories in major U.S. newspapers). He followed this up by helping to deploy Adelphia’s first cable modem network, and eventually, also deploy their DOCSIS 1.0 cable modem network throughout the United States. As part of the Adelphia acquisition, Ron moved on to Comcast where he served 12 years working with the East Division, Northeast Division, West Division, and Corporate HQ to stand up a highly successful network capacity program, which is still in use today.
