Worldwide Broadband Subscriptions to Reach 415 Million This Year

Service Revenues Will Top $130 billion in 2008

Boston, MA -May 28, 2008 - Worldwide broadband subscriptions will reach 415 million in 2008, representing one billion discrete broadband users, according to "Broadband Forecast: 1H 2008,"a report just released by Strategy Analytics. The number of broadband subscriptions will continue to grow to 621 million by 2012.

While DSL remains the dominant access technology, accounting for two-thirds of worldwide subscriptions, newer access technologies are taking hold.

"Fiber and WiMax will increasingly displace traditional broadband access technologies, such as DSL and Cable," said Ben Piper, Director of the Strategy Analytics Broadband Network Strategies service. "This phenomenon is punctuated by the Asia Pacific region, where WiMax is expected to grow from 4.8 million subscriptions in 2008 to 23 million by 2012."

Worldwide, broadband service revenues will increase from $130 billion in 2008 to $190 billion in 2012, with Europe, Asia Pacific and North America leading the way. This represents a 10.8% CAGR (2008-2012). Globally, Broadband ARPUs are expected to remain relatively stable during the forecast period.

"Global household penetration rates will continue to grow at a steady pace, approaching 35% in the next five years, "said John Lee, Analyst in the Strategy Analytics Digital Consumer practice. "Latin America and Asia Pacific will make up half of all global broadband subscriptions by 2012."

This report, "Global Broadband Forecast: 1H 2008," provides in-depth coverage for 50 countries in six discrete regions, and includes forecasts through 2012 of key metrics, including broadband penetration, service revenues, ARPUs and subscribers by technology.
