Study: High-speed Net access to gain hold

A new study from Forrester Research predicts that 16 million U.S. households, or a quarter of all online homes, will use high-speed broadband connections to the Internet by 2002. And Forrester has good news for TCI and AtHome: Cable companies should capture more than 80 percent of the broadband market. Spurred by falling equipment prices and increased consumer awareness, cable subscribers using these high-speed Net services should increase to more than 2 million by the end of 1999 from about 350,000. Broadband Net access via phone wires should make up the rest of the market. Forrester said phone companies will get more serious about offering broadband through Digital Subscriber Line technology when America Online starts putting pressure on them. "Forced to create its own premium broadband offering to compete with cable services from AtHome and Road Runner, AOL will require its network suppliers to provide DSL connections. Lured by the potential of AOL members turning to broadband, the local telephone companies will start to accelerate their DSL efforts," said Christopher Mines, author of the report.
