USA - Broadband Market - Fibre to the Home (FttH) - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd., April 2010, Pages: 17
Years of unrealised fibre projects have left the USA trailing far behind Asia in the deployment of FttH networks. However, in recent years the USA has been witnessing a more concerted fibre deployment effort. Verizon has adopted FttH, whilst AT&T has elected to pursue primarily FttN with FttH for new developments and multiple dwelling units. In addition, the smaller competitor carriers continue to deploy fibre deeper into their networks. Significantly, an increasing number of municipalities are sponsoring FttH networks, and the recent FCC National Broadband Plan envisages an increasingly important role for public FttH networks in the pursuit of the National Broadband Plan goals.
By early 2010, the estimated number of homes connected to FttH networks approached twenty million with a take-up rate of around 30%. However, this still positions the US fibre penetration levels at less than a quarter that of global fibre leader South Korea. In addition, the country’s fastest and largest fibre network, Verizon’s FiOS, will be slowing its rate of deployment after 2010, following the sale of its fixed network assets in some 14 states.
Nevertheless, with strong government backing, the aspirations of the National Broadband Plan could be met. If so, this would ensure over the next 10 years that the USA catches up with Asia in FttH deployments and its attendant community and commercial benefits.
This report provides an overview of FttH and other fibre network developments, including details of the major fibre deployments and key market statistics and forecasts.
