Re: USA and NA Broadband Stats - DSL
justone- I wanted to tie your url to my previous stats postings at: Message 13435128 Message 14238677
For kicks(and since these still pop up in search engine) here's the PR out of currently near book value Paradyne(feels like 1994 DSL land all over again) on their DSL lines deployed: Message 13465441
And here's the latest spin ALA routinely puts out concerning their DSL worldwide stats(which ZO just re-referenced too): Message 14313877
elmatador- In just a general review of the figures and fluff put out by the vendors, I'm guessing there are going to be about a total of 3 or 4 million ADSL lines deployed out there by year end 2000. Of course I'm speaking of worldwide. I'm hoping most of my references are ADSL. Or maybe the vendors are fudging the results by including IDSL, SDSL, and even HDSL? All along I had just assumed everyone was talking ADSL. Since your, "ADSL is dead," opinion, I'm questioning my figures. -MikeM(From Florida)

End of Q200: -1,391,478 DSL line deployed in North America -1,204,478 DSL lines in USA _________________
North American DSL Market Nears 1,400,000 Lines August 14, 2000-- DSL lines in service in North America totaled 1,391,478 at the end of second quarter 2000, according to new statistics published by TeleChoice.
The U.S. had 1,204,478 DSL lines in service at quarter's end. U.S. ILECs accounted for 76% of the total, followed by CLECs with 23% and IXCs with about 1%. The IXC deployment figures include only facilities-based deployments and not resold DSL lines. Canada had 187,000 DSL lines in service.
To gather this data, TeleChoice interviews each DSL facilities-based service provider on a quarterly basis.
These figures represent an impressive 59% overall increase in U.S. deployed lines over the end of first quarter 2000 figures. Led by SBC's nearly 100% growth, ILECs increased their base by 62% while CLECs increased their installed base of DSL lines by 55%. In Canada, the installed base of DSL lines grew by 46%.
"DSL's growth rate continues to increase while cable has begun to stagnate," says TeleChoice DSL Analyst Patrick Hurley. "Better availability of self-install modems, competitive pricing, and the advent of some innovative new services are really driving subscribership."
"Getting service out there quickly and efficiently remains the key for now," added TeleChoice Analyst Adam Guglielmo, "but in the coming months services will play an increasingly important role in attracting and retaining customers." |
