Subject: DSL, not cable, driving global broadband growth
Dave
For IP if you wish
Interesting stats on how DSL is the driver for broadband adoption
outside the US (admittedly from a self-interested party the DSL forum),
but worth noting?
Full article: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/36861.html
Excerpt:
<<Touting research that showed the world's DSL broadband connections
grew by more than 30 million subscribers in the year ending in June,
the DSL Forum claimed the broadband technology is doubling and
dominating broadband cable connection growth.
Analysts pointed out that there was a sizeable gap between DSL and
broadband cable deployments, which used to dominate high-speed
connections. But they reinforced the forum's findings of DSL growth,
citing as reasons price, ease of deployment and technological
advancement.
The DSL Forum research, conducted by Point Topic, indicated that in the
year leading up to June 2004, global DSL subscribers reached 78 million
at a rate that was double that of other technologies, including cable.
Point Topic reported that overall broadband subscribers grew globally
to 123 million in the same period, a growth rate of 55 percent.>>
