Publication Overview:

This Market Outlook Report provides a comprehensive forecast and analysis for global broadband subscribers. This report provides details on broadband subscribers with the following segmentation:

- By Region (Asia Pacific, CALA, EMEA and North America)

- By Technology Type (DSL, FTTx, Cable, Other)

- Penetration of Households by Region

The forecast foundation is built using country specific data provided by the ITU and other sources. This includes the following statistics: population, housing, access lines (residential and business), PC Penetration, current internet and broadband subscriptions and GDP data.

The proportion of Internet subscribers that will migrate to broadband access is then forecast using a model which contains three ranges: high-range, most likely, and low-range. Penetration rates are calculated for each region based on typical broadband tariffs, and assumptions are made for when these penetration levels are likely to be reached. The proportion of the broadband access market share of the various access technologies is also modeled based on coverage, competitive advantage, and service provider strategies. Demand for broadband access is highly price-sensitive. The penetration rates referred to above are modeled using an estimation of price elasticity of demand in each region. Sanity checks are made based on quarterly subscriber data, historical growth rates, availability, and service provider earnings reports.
