[Europe Will Close Broadband Gap, Report Says] "The United States is still ahead of Europe in the provision of broadband local access services, but the gap will narrow later this year, according to a report by London-based Datamonitor." "Conventional carriers, such as Deutsche Telekom, are starting to respond to this local-access threat with strategies of their own based on DSL technology, according to the report. The result of the telephone companies' response will be an explosion in demand for cable modems and DSL equipment, said Datamonitor, which said it predicts cable modems will have the edge over DSL in the early market. However, growth in both technologies will be rapid.
