For those that like market data..... networkmagazine.com able Modem Service Revenues: Here They Come PR Newswire, 15 Mar 8:31 Cable Modem Service Revenues: Here They Come! WASHINGTON, March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The promise of high-speed data and Internet access over cable modems is becoming reality, according to World Cable & Satellite Markets, a recent study by The Strategis Group. During the next five years, cable modem service will expand dramatically to meet the demand of residential high-speed Internet access in most countries. The Strategis Group forecasts nearly $US 17 billion global cumulative cable modem service revenues for 1998-2003, and nearly 20 million cable modem users world- wide in 2003. Exponential growth of high-speed Internet households means great opportunities for Internet content, e-commerce and interactive multimedia. "High-speed Internet access is the best new revenue opportunity for cable operators," said Neil Rochlani, consultant for The Strategis Group. "Countries that have taken the lead in deployment are beginning to experience rapid subscriber growth. Over the next five years, cable high-speed Internet access will account for half or more of new revenues in aggressive markets."
