Obviously there will be announcements, how 'big' these announcements will be, how many areas and how far into the future they'll cover I've no idea and I doubt that those who do know, if anyone does, will be in a position to answer for right now.
In some areas all the Motorola BSRs have already been replaced by Arris E6ks. The odd Cisco has also seen replacement.
This is something that'll continue as time goes on. To serve the new areas either Cisco 10ks or Arris E6ks will be installed.

Unsure about those as they should be going to the overlay network at some point soon.
Is there anyway of knowing what BSR you are on? The reason i ask i had two techs here last week trying to find an issue where my hub was dropping offline sometimes for a few minutes and sometimes for hours in the early hours. The Second tech that came out changed the hub and as he was about to say "job done" the hub fell offline for about 3-4 minutes and when it relocked on instead of my downstream channels being 1-8 they are now 9-16. He rang the networking guys at their head end whatever that is and at first they said nothing was happening but he then spoke to the head guy there and said yes over the past 2 weeks or so we have been changing and adding new hardware aswell as resegmenting the network. When he got off the phone he said that work was being done on the BSR and i asked what make it was out of Curiosity and he said Motorola.

BSR is a proprietary name for Motorola's CMTSs. VM also use Cisco UBRs (of various models), and Arris E6000s (often called "E6k"). But they all do the same job.
