Fiber-optic broadband to represent 19% of global fixed broadband subscriptions by year-end 2013

摘要

Worldwide fixed-line broadband subscriptions continue to grow at a healthy pace in 2013. According to ABI Research's "Broadband Subscribers" Market Data, fiber-optic broadband market share will reach 19% by year-end 2013, from 16% in 2012. "The number of broadband subscribers is growing on all DSL, cable, and fiber-optic platforms. However, there is a marked shift in consumer adoption from DSL to fiber-optic as operators continue to extend the reach of their fiber-optic infrastructure," said Jake Saunders, VP and practice director.
