Broadband Grows 7% in Q1 2005

Filed in archive IPTV on July 9, 2005

Broadband penetration in the U.S. is a growth market right now. Here are some statistics published by Leichtman Research Group about market size and market share as of the end of Q1 2005.




The breakout by provider is interesting as is the split between Telco's and Cable. But what interests me the most is the aggregate number: 38.87 Million subscribers. Lets put that into some perspective:

Number of television households in the U.S.: 108,500,000

Number of Cable television households: 91,400,000

Number of Broadband households: 38,867,000

What this tells me is that it is possible to build interesting VOD businesses that are Internet based. Do not read that to mean IPTV -- rather, Internet Television.
