1992: CableLabs commissions consulting firm Arthur D. Little to research personal communications services (PCS). The Federal Communications Commission authorizes CableLabs to build a PCS (Personal Communication Services) wireless telephony test bed, in downtown Boulder. At the time, participants thought PCS might become cable's first digital offering.

May 1992: A "data protocol project," directed by then-visiting CableLabs executive Tom Jokerst, presaged what would become the cable modem. The two-tier approach, touting speeds of 19.2 kbps and 1.544 Mbps, was envisioned as beneficial for work-at-home employees. The team later concluded that neither the timing nor the technology was quite right.
