DSL to lead broadband sector [10/19/2000]

(DSL) is set to lead the broadband revolution,

Subscribers to the high-bandwidth connection will grow from 4.5 million this year to 64.7 million by 2004. New subscriptions will increase by 71 percent next year to 7.7 million.

Cahners In-stat believes that DSL will prove more popular than cable modem or satellite services. Recent developments, such as falling modem prices, reduced service charges, and technological developments may encourage consumers to choose DSL over its rivals.

Meanwhile, a survey released this week by Statistical Research, Inc. confirms that broadband connections are increasing among US households. The percentage of online households using DSL or cable modem has risen over the past six months from 5 percent to 11 percent. In the same period, connections to the Web via shared phone lines dropped 9 percent.
