DOCSIS -  Now known as The CableLabs® Certified™ Cable Modem Project. These DOCSIS-based next generation cable modem systems provide users with high-speed access to packet-based data services. These services include Internet usage, packet telephony, video conferencing and telecommuting (i.e., remote access to private networks).

As frequency allocation band plans differ between U.S. and European cable TV systems, DOCSIS standards have been modified for use in Europe. European changes were published under the name of "EuroDOCSIS".


The European's comparable specification for these “next generation” of cable modems, is produced by DVB/DAVIC and published by the ETSI.

In Europe DOCSIS can compete with the DVB standard.
