We see more dissemination than that of cable modems. DSL will overtake them in the next year or so. An earlier projection by a group called Computer Economics put cable modems in a more positive light. It predicted the cable-modem installed base will grow from 5.7 million at the end of this year to 27.6 million in 2003. DSL will grow from 2.4 million to 13.8 million during the same period.
Cable operators shoud push cable-modem service into untapped areas as fast as possible.
And most importantly, offer innovative bundling packages between cable modem, interactive television, voice and other services. All rights reserved.
