DSL rollout is occurring faster than expected. Of the roughly 4,850 ISPs in the U.S. in 1999, approximately 31 percent claim to offer Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL). From our research, we expect that at the close of 1999, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will have deployed 1.35 million unique, revenue-generating xDSL lines. Web-wait-weary consumers and cost-conscious businesses have leapt at the chance to improve their Internet performance and avoid other forms of costly dedicated access, but few in the industry expected their leap to be of such Carl Lewis proportions. The DSL rollout is literally a stampede, as ISPs rush to compete with cable companies and find ways to boost their operating margins. In fact, line deployment will surpass the one million mark by yearend and growth is being delayed by equipment makers' abilities to meet demand and carriers' abilities to make lines live fast enough. We at Cahners In-Stat Group sees wireless data service potential in the following key markets: * Through sheer scope of coverage, RBOCs win ISPs' mindshare when they look for a DSL carrier partner. * On a dollar-per-dollar basis, national data CLECs are taking more than their fair share of DSL network service provider revenue. * GTE and Cisco were named the preferred DSL carrier and equipment partners respectively. - ### - ____________________________________________________________________________ This MarketAlert is drawn from Cahners In-Stat Group's latest report, The High-Speed Stampede: U.S. ISPs Roll Out xDSL Service Faster than Expected, #IS9907SP.
