Charter Communications announced a cloud-based cable TV service called Worldbox to be backed by Cisco technology. Charter CEO Tom Rutledge unveiled the initiative at CES with Cisco CEO John Chambers. The system will allow Charter to update its services regardless of which set-top boxes are being used by its subscribers. Cisco plans to supply data center and networking equipment. “By using cloud-computing technology to deliver software updates, Charter will be able to add features and content quickly, instead of sending technicians to install new machines in homes and businesses,” reports Bloomberg.
