DSL / Broadband seemed poised for much more growth in 2001, but may not be the case :

by Dennis K. Berman & Shawn Young (Staff Reporters of The Wall Street Journal)

Message 17208502

After hitting quarterly growth rates as high as 50% last year, digital subscriber lines -- which speed Internet traffic through traditional copper phone wires -- seemed poised for a breakout year in 2001. Now the service has hit a speed bump: Growth in DSL customers slowed to 14% in the second quarter, from 20% in the first three months of the year, says consulting firm TeleChoice Inc. Cable companies, meanwhile, signed up 12% fewer high-speed Internet subscribers in the second quarter compared with the first, according to Yankee Group, another telecom consulting firm.
