Re: MSOs in Europe -- General Stats Thread, Here are a few more stats I picked up from another article on the Deutsche Telekom cable plant story. - Estimates value it between $10.8 to $16.3 billion USD. - Their cable network covers 18,000,000 households. - Deutsche Bank/Dresdner Bank will be making a bid for it. - Basically about 10 creditworthy suitors will be bidding. - Germany's cable-TV market is the world's 2nd largest. Britan's largest cable company is, "NTL Inc." Here's some info on them. - NTL Inc paid only $750/subscriber for France's Telecom SA 1G. - Of course Telcom SA 1G currently is only TV capable. - NTL paid $8,500/subscriber for Cable&Wireless' cable business. - The C&W network already carries phone, television and Internet. - NTL now has 2/3rds of the UK total cable customer business. Sure sounds like the European market is heating up for two-way HFC networks to be built. I noticed in reading Excite@Home (sym: ATHM) SEC filings today, that they are establishing a presence in Europe. Now I see why. MikeM(From Florida)
