Open the classified section in any major metropolitan daily and you'll probably see an ad that reads something like this: "Cable installer/splicer. Good benefits. Local and remote sites. Call now."
Likewise, cable-system Web sites perennially list openings for trained technical personnel.
Employees have the ability to be choosy because incumbent cable operators have work to offer as they upgrade their plants to deliver digital signals and install cable modems. Add to that the fact that telephone companies are speeding deployment of their own high-speed-data products. Further, municipal governments are analyzing the financial impact of adding video to the suite of products offered by their locally owned utilities.
Now along come a handful of cable veterans who have cashed out of acquired companies and are taking that cash to start kingdoms anew. Markets such as Portland, Ore.; San Antonio and Austin, Texas; and Aurora, Colo., may become hotbeds of wired competition.
The competition may not be just for customers, but for the technically adept workers who will put a new build on the map by getting into the market quickly and, more important, competently.
Contractors happily say they have never had more bid requests flooding their offices. But their enthusiasm is tempered with the knowledge that soon, a shortage in the number of talented workers may drive up the cost of jobs for themselves and their clients.
