Executive Summary

More than 50% of online US households are using broadband today. While cable is still in the lead, DSL is gaining ground. With most operators reporting less than 30% sales penetration in their existing broadband footprint, operators will need to re-orient marketing programs to simpler pricing plans, product offerings, and distribution. A universal broadband initiative won't address consumers' desire to purchase services.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • Consumers Take The Broadband Plunge
  • The US Still Lags Other Countries In Speed, Availability, And Penetration
