Bandwidth Wars: Cable modems face hurdles
CNNfn - May 24, 1999: 11:36 a.m. ET

Despite predicted demand, cable modems see retail challenges

Chicago (internetTelephony) -Recent projections by Paul Kagan &
Associates suggest that 1.6 million customers will receive data service
via cable modem by the end of 1999, and cable modem users will
outnumber digital subscriber line customers by two-to-one for the
next decade at least.


But those numbers will be hard to achieve if customers can't buy
their own modems at an electronics store and install them.

The problem is more acute than a year ago because digital
subscriber line (DSL) modems built on G.lite are now moving into
retail channels - mostly via computer manufacturers that are building
them into PCs.

But in the mean time, manufacturers are working to find
customers who can use their products. 3Com Corp (COMS)., whose
CMX cable modem just received DOCSIS certification, piggybacks
its own database of customers onto service listings being compiled by
@Home (ATHM) and RoadRunner.
