According to
our latest research paper, "World
Broadband Tracker Q4 2005",
at the end of 2005, of all
the Top Ten broadband countries only the USA, with
over 55% (24 million) Cable Modem subscribers, has
more subscribers to this technology than other technologies.
Canada with nearly 49% of its broadband subscribers
using Cable Modem is in the second place followed
by South Korea (30%).
North America Cable Modem is
still a real contender to DSL and despite the fact
that cable operators compete more aggressively with
the telcos, often offering low-speed, and low –cost
entry level services to attract residential customers
but their market size share is shrinking.
DSL is growing faster than cable almost everywhere
else. Exceptions include South Korea,
where there is a negative trend in the number of DSL
subscribers. Here ADSL has approached its saturation
point and people are choosing other technologies such
as FWA, Satellite and FTTx.
Among Top Ten broadband markets,
China is growing faster than any other countries.
DSL annual growth rate in China was 84% while this
figure for Cable Modem reached 43% since Q4 2004.
