Here's a scoop on ADSL ANALYSTS TELECOM OPERATORS WILL HAVE NO CHOICE ABOUT DEPLOYING Mass-Market High-Speed IP Access CAMBRIDGE, England, Oct 19, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Telecom operators (TOs) who own copper networks are going to have no choice but to deploy mass-market high-speed Internet Protocol (IP) access technologies, such as ADSL, say analysts. According to a new report entitled IP Local Loop: Accessing the Next Generation Network, published this week by telecoms consultancy Analysys (http://www.analysys.com), the pressure from the financial markets and from policy makers will be such that any copper network owner which does not deploy high-speed IP access in the near future will be vulnerable to take-over by one that will. Using a standard copper wire to carry only a single voice channel leaves a valuable asset underutilized, as it wastes over 90 per cent of the capacity available with current technology. In the new report, Analysys examines the potential of ADSL, cable modems, broadband wireless and satellite systems for delivering high-speed Internet access to the mass market, and estimates the pent-up demand for this type of service in various regions of the world. Even when allowing for existing deployment, the demand for affordable, high-speed access to the Internet currently far outstrips supply in all regions. (Chart/graphic available on request from Martin Brooke Associates). "Our forecasts indicate that in 1999 there are around 40 million residential and small business sites worldwide which would buy a high speed IP service if it was offered at prices similar to those already being charged in the USA, compared with about 2 million sites currently connected," says Margaret Hopkins, the report's lead author. "This sort of pent-up demand, which will top 70 million sites by 2003, is a very powerful incentive for network owners to deploy high-speed IP access in the local loop." IP Local Loop: Accessing the Next Generation Network is published by Analysys Publications and is available either in paper format or electronically via the Web (http://www.analysys.com/publish) at a cost of 1295 pounds sterling (US$2330) or 1495 pounds (US$2690), respectively.
