In race for faster Web access, cable
modems outpace phone competition



EVEN THOUGH THE GAME has barely begun,
analysts and industry executives alike say cable has a big
early lead that will be difficult for its phone industry
adversaries to overcome.
At Home, the cable modem service jointly owned by
Tele-Communications Inc. and several other large cable
companies, recently said it closed the second quarter with
147,000 subscribers, up from 90,000 at the end of March
and 50,000 at the end of 1997.
Earlier this week, Motorola announced that it has
shipped 170,000 cable modems already this year, and
expects to sell around 320,000, total, in 1998. Analysts
predicted the total number of cable modem subscribers will
reach 425,000 to 500,000 by year's end.
