TR-069, a protocol that made broadband manageable, turns 20. What's coming next?

Technical report 69, or TR-069, which defines how people's broadband routers and other customer-premises equipment can be remotely provisioned and managed by ISPs automatically, is turning 20 years old.

It's a protocol that made providing broadband internet a lot easier and straight forward for subscribers. Jason Walls, a co-director at the Broadband Forum, which oversees these technical specification, assured us it's going to be a smooth transition. "We don't really use the term 'deprecate' as a hard line," Walls told us in an interview you can replay below."It really just means is that the time has come for us to we're not gonna change anything about … so all of our work in the future is all going to be on TR-369.""I like to think of it as like a sun setting," Walls added, pointing also to a graphic of TR-69 as a cowboy riding off into the sunset.

Catch the above chat for a little bit of history about this protocol that is pretty fundamental but mostly out of sight, and what's coming for CPE provisioning and monitoring.
