2003 Annual Report Rogers Communications Inc.

Rogers Cable
Rogers Cable’s advanced fibre-to-the-feeder network in Ontario,
New Brunswick and Newfoundland is more than 96% two-way
addressable, 99% digital-ready and 92% 750/860 megahertz
(“MHz”) – ideally suited for delivering advanced television and
Internet services requiring interactivity and significant bandwidth.
Rogers Cable offers one of Canada’s largest selections of pro-
gramming, packaged with content ranging from local television
stations to Canadian and U.S. networks to a plethora of premium
and specialty channels. With up to 400 channels available,
Rogers Cable offers the ultimate in choice and flexibility. Rogers
Cable also offers up to 19 channels of high definition television
(“HDTV”) programming – the television signal of the future.
Rogers on Demand is a suite of services that includes video on
demand (“VOD”), personal video recorders (“PVR”) and time-
shifted programming. PVRs allow customers to pause and
rewind live television, record up to 50 hours of programming
and watch their favourite shows while recording another pro-
gram. Using Rogers’ PVR, combined with VOD – now available
to over 1.8 million homes with a library of more than 1,000
program titles – and time-shifted channels, provides the ulti-
mate television viewing experience and is available only to
Rogers Cable subscribers.
Rogers Cable offers two different broadband Internet services
for customers: Rogers Hi-Speed, the choice of most residential
customers and Rogers Hi-Speed Lite, a lower-priced, less
feature-rich option for customers. In addition, Rogers Business
Solutions offers a range of high-speed service options to the
business market.
In mid-2005, Rogers Cable intends to introduce a high-quality
digital local telephone service with many of today’s popular
calling features plus many new services that will be enabled by
the advanced Internet Protocol (“IP”) platform.
