During 2007, the US broadband market continued to grow, adding nine million household subscribers; in 2008, growth will persist, but net subscriber adds will drop to only 7.6 million households.

Fatter, faster data pipes will enable more consumers to experience high-quality video online, and more symmetrical services will fuel a new wave of user-generated content sharing.
