The latest Point Topic<\/a> and Broadband Forum<\/a> statistics for Q4-2012 reveal that the total number of global broadband subscribers has grown to 643,770,042<\/strong> (up from 635.9m in Q3-2012), which is being fuelled by deployments of fibre optic (FTTH<\/a>, FTTC<\/a> etc.) connectivity growing “faster than all other access technologies<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The results reveal that world broadband subscribers saw an annual growth of 8.6%<\/strong> (50 million new users), although the vast majority of this was supported by a surge in uptake for newer superfast fibre optic based broadband technologies.<\/p>\n

The fastest growing internet access technology has been hybrid-fibre<\/strong> (e.g. solutions like BT<\/a>’s 80Mbps FTTC<\/a> product in the UK), which increased by 27.5% during the course of 2012. By comparison true fibre optic technologies (FTTH<\/a>\/P\/B), which are significantly faster than hybrid-fibre but often more expensive to deploy, grew by a respectably strong 20.3%.<\/p>\n

\"world<\/div>\n

In terms of market share<\/strong>, the old style of copper based DSL<\/a> (ADSL<\/a>, SDSL etc.) broadband technologies continue to dominate and account for 56.95% of the entire market (down from 59.6% in Q2-2012), which has been cannibalised somewhat by the latest fibre services (hybrid-fibre now holds 17.78% and FTTH<\/a>\/P\/B sits on 3%).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile cable modem based (e.g. Virgin Media<\/a>) connectivity has held fairly stable on 19.19% and other technologies (i.e. wireless and satellite<\/a>) come in last with a market share of just 3.08%.<\/p>\n

Oliver Johnson, CEO of Point Topic<\/a>, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Demand for bandwidth can be satisfied by FTTx [hybrid-fibre] solutions, particularly in combination with vectoring, bonding and other incremental VDSL2<\/a> improvements so operators will continue to maximize the lifetime of their existing assets<\/em>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As usual China continues to dominate the broadband market with an annual growth of 15% in 2012, which is well above the United Kingdom’s 5.37%. On the other hand the UK actually does quite well for a developed country where broadband availability is already high.<\/p>\n

Finally over 75 million users are now subscribing to IPTV (online TV services), which grew by 3.6 million during Q4-2012 (4.97%). Overall, 11.8% of all broadband subscribers now take an IPTV service (up from 10.4% in Q4-2011).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
