325m Global Broadband Users By 2008
Posted: 09th Jul, 2004 By: MarkJ
The Yankee Group has predicted that total global broadband Internet access connections will reach 325 million subscribers by 2008. Interestingly 200m of those lines will be xDSL based:
Of this 325 million, about 200 million subscribers will be using DSL (digital subscriber line) service, up significantly from the 85 million people expected to be using that technology by the end of 2004, the study found.
DSL growth will largely be fueled by the Asia-Pacific region, according to the Yankee Group. DSL is expected to add between 25 million and 30 million subscribers per year, while rival cable modem technology will account for around 8 million new subscribers annually.
The competition between cable and DSL is getting fiercer as the market grows. The Yankee Group expects steeper year-over-year growth for satellite, broadband wireless and other technologies as well.
Sadly no specific estimates for Wireless or Powerline (PLC) technology are given. More @ Silicon.
