 Cable satellite still dominate video market

While there has been a lot of press about IPTV and Fios and telco involvement in video, they still have a long way to go. Cable and satellite combine for 96% of the TV market that isn't over the air. And that OTA segment is only 14% of US households, which means about 85% of homes are cable or satellite TV homes.

Only in the data broadband market are the telcos major players, sharing the stage with the cable companies. BPL and fixed wireless are still minor players. And dial-up, while still huge, is seeing it's share shrink year by year.

In the short term, I don't see the FCC changing anything. We're all waiting for the Congress to set new guidelines this year for the next 10 years.

cable companies big in the data broadband market, not if you mean business communications over SONET.
