The 6th Annual 2050 Project Survey
Share your perspective on the future of broadband networks
For six years, the 2050 Project Survey has been the cable industry’s trusted benchmark for tracking the evolution of HFC networks — and the strategies shaping their transition to fiber. Since its inception, this survey has provided invaluable insights into how operators are navigating technology choices, competitive pressures, and the path toward multigigabit connectivity.
HFC remains at the heart of this survey. Our goal is to capture the latest thinking on DOCSIS advancements, fiber migration timelines, and outside plant intelligence — critical factors in defining the future of hybrid fiber-coaxial networks.
What’s new in 2026?
While the primary focus is still HFC, this year we’re broadening the conversation to include Media Distribution and Energy Storage. These emerging areas are increasingly relevant to operators seeking to optimize performance, sustainability, and service delivery.
Why participate?
Make your voice heard: Share your perspective and help shape the collective understanding of how operators are evolving their networks.
Get early insights: Be among the first to hear what your peers have to say about broadband’s future and how strategies are shifting across HFC, fiber, media, and energy.
Join the conversation: Add your expertise to a community that’s driving innovation and transformation across the industry.
Quick and confidential: Completing the survey takes just 5 minutes and we won’t disclose your name, your company’s name or share any information with third parties.
Peer pressure to score: All the cool kids are doing it and it could pay off because verified participants will be entered into a drawing for one of five $100 Amazon gift cards!
Help shape the future. Take the survey today and be part of the conversation defining network innovation.
