DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6d1adf/usa_broadband_ma) has announced the addition of the "USA - Broadband Market - Cable modem & DSL - Analysis, Statistics & Forecasts" report to their offering.

Unlike most OECD countries, where DSL tends to dominate, the majority of subscribers in the US broadband market are cable subscribers. Although DSL has in recent years been gaining on cable, that trend was reversed, at least temporarily, in 2008. Although competing technologies such as FttH and WiMAX are growing relatively quickly, broadband competition in each region is still generally limited to one DSL and one cable operator. The DSL segment remains dominated by AT&T and Verizon, which account for around 80% of DSL subscribers, while cable broadband is only slightly less concentrated with three companies, Comcast, Time Warner and Cox, accounting for around 75% of cable broadband subscribers. Compounded by economic recession, DSL and cable modem growth rates are expected to decline over the next five years as household penetration reaches saturation and fibre networks become widely deployed. This report provides overviews, analysis, relevant statistics and forecasts on the US cable modem and DSL broadband markets.
