I have absolutely no doubt there will be initial issues. That's why there'll be trials in labs, then smaller scale in the field, beforehand, to ensure the combination of CPE and CMTS hardware and firmware behaves
It's not some voodoo magic that's unique to VM. Comcast, Cogeco Cable Canada, Rogers Canada, Time Warner, bits of the UPC family, etc, have been selling this stuff since 2005.
I believe that the UPC family is going to be slowly but surely evolving to using the same CPE, CMTS, CCAP, etc, for obvious reasons, and when that happens the most profitable and revenue rich segment of the business, VM, can have smaller sister companies run their scale testing for them
