Re: Cable is doing well in US; & Docsis 3 will keep them there

Q2 was 73% cable to 27% telco in new additions. So telco is improving.

And internet access in the US is roughly 41% cable; 30% telco DSL; and 25% dial-up; with the last 4% various(sat,fiber,wireless, etc).

While Verizon use of Fios will keep them in the broadband sweepstakes, cables use of Docsis 3 will keep them even or ahead for a long time.

And for me, cable is still the best game in town. Verizon only offers 3000/768 DSL and no Fios on the horizon(maybe in a couple years Verizon says). And Comcast hasn't rolled out Docsis 3 yet in my area, but that should change in the next 12 months.
FiOS is coming to Atlantic and Cape May county in 2009. Both county seats must be done. The pattern has been to do surrounding areas to the county seats, but I am not sure 2009 plans have been finalized. The economy is the only fly in the ointment for faster deployment down here at this point. My area had a good chance of being done, but now not as much because of the economy. Gas prices were the other issue but considering they've been cut in half, I seriously doubt that is an issue still.
