The Worldwide Base For Broadband Technology Is
Expected To Reach More Than 200 Subscribers By 2006, Up From About 100
Million At The End Of 2003.
Of this 200 million, more that half the subscribers will be using DSL
(digital subscriber line) service, up significantly from the 65 million
people expected to be using that technology by the end of 2003.
Research and
Markets has announced the addition of Broadband Technology: Worldwide
Assessment and Market Forecast to their offering.
This report presents a comprehensive overview of IC products on the market
for Cable, xDSL, wireless broadband, and satellite technologies. Data
include chip architectures, features, applications, prices, and
availability. The report covers technical, business, and political features
of the marketplace, and presents a market forecast of the technology.
DSL growth will largely be fuelled by the Asia-Pacific region. DSL is
expected to add between 25 million and 30 million subscribers per year,
while rival cable modem technology will account for around 8 million new
subscribers annually.
The competition between cable and DSL is getting fiercer as the market
grows, competing with steeper year-over-year growth for satellite, broadband
wireless and other technologies as well.
In North America, though, cable service will maintain its lead but satellite
is expected to experience strong growth.
