The New U.s. Broadband Access Technology, Or Iptv Will Break Deadlock-iptv, Cable,

In the United States, Cable television With the increasingly competitive telecommunications

companies, telecommunications companies face strong challenges, new broadband technology, or will become a cable company's "life-saving straw."

Broken Wing broadband access market Since the U.S. telecommunications and cable television each other with open market, the two sides is intense, and their battlefield mainly in broadband access.

Currently, the U.S. use of groups of rapid growth in broadband access, only VoIP The number of users has already reached tens of millions. Internet users in the United States is the world's largest country, has now reached 210 million people. comScore statistics show that Internet users watch online video monthly average time is 3.25 hours, in December 2007, the U.S. Internet video downloads reach 100 million passengers.

The development of broadband access services has set higher bandwidth requirements, in this regard, the telecommunications company holds a clear advantage. Telecommunications company providing broadband access is the user exclusive, wide variety, such as Verizon companies can provide users with up to 100Mbit / s download speed; However, cable companies provide access rate is shared, the current maximum downlink rate only 40Mbit / s, if there are four users simultaneously, with 10Mbit / s download speed limit, then the whole line will be all the bandwidth consumption of the net.

Recently, the telecom companies have launched new initiatives, such as Verizon Launches FiOS network-based high-speed Internet service, using this service, you can order the same rate upstream and downstream Internet access. This "symmetry rate" service prior to the first large-scale promotion in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, users can use 20Mbit / s rate on the internet to upload and download information.

The face of telecommunications companies scrambling, cable companies have to take measures. Communicate Broadcasting Company (Comcast) announced the adoption of blocking some file-sharing ways to reduce network traffic. Time Warner Cable in Beaumont, Texas City, a pilot, sales to new customers monthly data downloads under the division of different levels of service, the company's spokesman said the test aims to download large files to charge higher fees to customers to improve network performance. Although the cable company's package of measures criticized by many, but it is also their quite upset.

Telecommunications and cable broadband access technology 2 Another important difference is that the telecommunications company's broadband access in the monthly fee also includes many additional services, and these additional services in the cable company's broadband access is No, such an essential anti-virus software, users need to pay a separate purchase. In this situation, competition for broadband access in the user, the cable companies at a disadvantage is the inevitable.

From the broadband access market in recent years, the United States on the development path, it can clearly see the growth of the two. FCC published data (as shown) shows that in the broadband access, the end of 2002, U.S. broadband users CableModem to 11.307 million, accounting for 52.7%; DSL was 6,444,400, accounting for 32.6%; fiber to 55.35 million, representing 2.8% of the total; Satellite And the other was 1,462,800, accounting for 7.4%. Visible, CableModem the largest market share; but by early 2004, DSL and fiber market share has rapidly risen to more than 45%; in 2005, the nation's total to 42.9 million broadband subscribers, DSL add more than 5.2 million, CableModem Added 4.4 million, the first time this year to increase the number of DSL users than CableModem number of users, this is a historic breakthrough, thus after the passive cable companies everywhere.
