Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for simple cable phone and internet (SCPI) device that may be coupled with a cable modem (CM) and one or more SCPI head ends, e.g., via an SCPI access point. The CM may be capable of communicating a first modulated signal with a cable modem termination system (CMTS), via the SCPI device. The SCPI device may be capable of combining a second modulated signal to the first modulated signal thereby generating a combined signal. The SCPI device may be capable of sending the combined signal comprising the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal to the CMTS and an SCPI head end. The SCPI head end may be capable of processing the combined signal and extract information and/or data associated with a service. The SCPI head end may deliver the extracted information and/or data to an appropriate gateway.
