DSL: Once and Future Broadband King
Posted by samc on January 4th, 2008A 300-page report by Forward Concepts tries to estimate the broadband alternatives, both wired and wireless by 2012.
Detailed equipment and chip forecasts are presented with WiMAX systems profiled with cumulative revenue estimates and 2007 market shares.
They estimate 637 million broadband subs by 2012, world-wide, with the vast majority using DSL (61%), followed by cable broadband (14%), 3G cellluar (10%), Fiber (7%), and WiMAX (6%).
Broadband alternatives, both wired and wireless are examined, including Cable, ADSL, UMTS, HSPA, UMB and LTE. Global WiMAX and BWA deployments by 194 operators in 73 countries are profiled and detailed listings of wired and wireless broadband subscriber populations on a country-by-country basis are presented for 146 countries.
The study costs $3,500 a pop.
In related news, Research and Markets has announced a “WiMAX RFP”. It’s a 14-page guide for dealing with vendors and purports to assist planners in asking the right questions of vendors.
