An otherwise interesting article in BusinessWeek includes a couple of notable inaccuracies. While the piece effectively captures the tone of a heated battle between Cablevision and Verizon on Long Island, it mistakenly credits Cablevision with being the first major cable company to offer cable phone service, in 2003. Actually, it was six years earlier, in 1997, and the company was Cox Communications. The article also cites Cablevision's 13% penetration of telephone homes passed as the highest among major cable companies. Wrong again. Cox Digital Telephone's 22% penetration of telephone homes passed leads the industry.
