http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Cable-Grabbing-71-Of-New-Broadband-Customers-99158 If you had any doubts that cable has been beating up the telcos a bit the last few quarters, the latest data from Leichtman Research should eliminate them. According to Leichtman, the twenty largest cable and telephone providers in the US – representing about 94% of the market – acquired approximately 1.3 million net additional high-speed Internet subscribers in the third quarter of 2008. Of those 1.3 million new customers, cable operators added 870,000, or 67% of them in the third quarter. "Over the past two quarters the top cable providers accounted for 71% of the net broadband additions, adding over 900,000 more broadband subscribers than the top telcos," says Bruce Leichtman. *********************************** * POST TO [email protected] * *********************************** Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
