Re: USA Broadband Stats - DSL and CM
Thread- The mother of all broadband stats are posted below.
Keep in mind, there are 100,000,000 US households. So even though at the end of this year it's estimated that there will be 5,000,000 broadband connections(about 1/5th will be offices), it's still very early in the broadband or Last Mile game.
If this keeps up, and as I've said upstream, it's looking pretty clear to me metro will be seeing the next big wave of upgrades. -MikeM(From Florida)
DSL- digital subscriber line
CM- cable modem
RBOC- regional bell operating company
ILEC- incumbent local exchange carrier
