Reach tens of thousands of cable, satellite, and broadband telecom
professionals quickly and affordably by placing an ad on the CABL Bar.
- Primary Resource -- Since its inception in 1996 the Bar has become
the first place cable pros look for industry information, employment ads, and classifieds.
- Expansive Audience -- 78145 registered accounts
currently and many additional unregistered viewers weekly.
- Economical -- Similar online services charge hundreds of dollars for a single employment ad. CABL charges only a fraction, and
runs the ad longer. A full page ad on CABL costs much less than a single-line classified in a typical local newspaper while also getting national exposure.
- Search Engine Advertising -- CABL buys keyword placement on major search engines so "Googling" on one of hundreds of phrases
like Fiber Jobs will produce an ad for CABL, bringing in new prospects daily.
- Professional Appearance -- Each ad is displayed on its own page using a
standard format. No other ads or banners appear in the page with your ad (excluding Free classifieds)
- Exclusivity -- Unlike sites with "free" listings, CABL runs only the most worthwhile and relevant ads so yours
will get the respect it deserves, and not lost in a mass of unrelated noise.
- Not the Competition -- The operator of CABL.com, DBMV Solutions, is an
independent sole proprietorship interested only in operating the Bar and creating other types of information technology solutions for broadband companies such
as yours. We are not owned or influenced by your competitors like other sites.
- Friendly Support -- A representative is available by phone during regular business hours should help be needed.
Employment listings: A full page job ad (as seen in the Employment section of the menu on the left) is $39.95

Classified (For Sale): A full page classified ad (as seen in the Classifieds section of the menu on the left) is $16.50

A rotating display in the ad links to the full-size pictures.
To place an employment or classified advertisement, begin by using the
Create a New Ad form.
This ad classification is offered as a means for active forum participants and paid members to place ads seeking work, or "for sale" ads
for items that otherwise might not warrant the expense of a regular ad. Free ads are not intended as a way to avoid
payment for regular ads. Ads that are submitted must meet the requirements outlined below to qualify for free placement.
To qualify as a forum participant, the member must have a post in any public Bar forum (Broadband or Subscribed) in any 3 of the previous 12 months.
If the member does not qualify then a Privileged membership is required to place ads in these sections.
Free ads link to your account profile where interested parties may find your phone number or e-mail for contact.
Due to the potential for errors or abuse with phone numbers and e-mail, contact information is NOT ALLOWED in the ad text.
Free ads are limited to one active ad per category. An existing free ad may be
removed to allow a new ad for a different item, however, free ads for the same or similar item
may not be repeated until after expiration of the original period (should the item not sell/be acquired, etc.)
In no instance may Free classifieds be used for the purpose of furthering the direct profit of a business (for example, a company that re-sells
equipment may not use a free ad to solicit equipment.)
Wanted to Buy
Requests for items needed. Items may be any intended for one-time, direct use by you or your
company. Ads for items needed continuously or for resale do not qualify. The ad must state the
specific item requested. "Motorola 750MHz amplifiers" is acceptable. "Any line electronics" is not specific enough.
Misc. For Sale
Inexpensive items or personal items for sale. Reseller ads are
automatically disqualified. Asking price for the item(s) must
be included in the ad and total under $500. Personal items unrelated to the industry (for example, a
motorcycle) are exempt from this requirement and may be of any value.
Seeking Work
Individual or small team (5 persons or less) looking for work
CABL reserves the right to reject any ad submitted for free listing at its discretion.
