State of the US fixed Broadband market in 2024 This week, Jonathan Chaplin visited Roger Entner and Don Kellogg to discuss US fixed broadband in the spring of 2024. 1. The US Fixed broadband rate is coming down from 2.7% as subsidy programs taper off. 2. Historically, The maximum US reach for mass market technology has been 96%, the peak number for fixed telephony. 3. Cable faces the challenge of addressing the culturally related customer service proposition or the technology-related speed and reliability proposition. 4. Consumers who subscribe to a fiber provider that advertises symmetrical capabilities think they need it more than consumers with different fiber providers. 5. Spectrum assets are crucial when looking at further redefinitions of the competitive landscape. An insightful episode on the state of fixed Broadband in the US. #5G #FWA #Fiber #Cable #DigitalDivide John Yazlle | Paul Challoner | Jaime Gomezjurado

⚠️ The UK fibre market is transitioning from a rapid growth phase to a 'shakeout' phase. What does this mean for network operators and the broader market? The shakeout phase is a critical period where inefficient players exit, and stronger ones consolidate their positions. In my latest piece, I analyse the implications of this phase and what it means for the future of fibre networks in the UK. This article is essential for anyone involved in the telecom sector or interested in market dynamics.

5G Fixed Wireless Access has become a significant player in the U.S. broadband market, contributing positively to the competitive landscape and showing robust growth in subscriber numbers.

The latest research from Point Topic has revealed that world fixed broadband lines grew by 1.6% (22.39 million) in Q3 2023 to total 1.42 billion connections, which compares with 1.87% (24.59m) in the same quarter last year. But the subscriber growth rate of “full fibre” (FTTP/B) networks in the UK almost stalled in the latest quarter.

"Broadband usage in the U.S. continues to surge as more consumers embrace heavy data consumption”, reports Julia King of Fierce Telecom. The average monthly consumption has more than doubled over the past five years, climbing from 270 GB in 2018 to over 600 GB by the end 2023. Despite being on slower speed tiers, 10% of subscribers still on those slower plans are classified as "power users," a term coined by OpenVault for customers consuming 250 GB or more per month.

It was wrong for the CRTC to set an objective for “affordable access to high-quality Internet services” without a more complete discussion or definition of "affordable". The way the term was used in the wholesale broadband policy strikes me as an attempt to score political points. The Commission might consider investing its attention to the more serious challenge of identifying the non-price factors inhibiting adoption of digital connectivity.

Objectives are just...objectives. And if the Canadian #telecom regulator is going to make new universal objectives for broadband speed, can we at least make them meaningful? We should be able to portray leadership that anticipates our future. Because right now, many are saying that "50/10 is sufficient for today for the average person." Maybe that's true. Maybe it's not. But it's not the point. Keep in mind that these are "Universal Objectives", not "Universal Averages." It doesn't take leadership to define what average usage is. I can do that making a quick call to Sabih and asking for it. And our data is really cool, because it portrays peaks on what people actually use when capacity is given to them. Sometimes, I feel like the regulator works way to hard not to accomodate those operating #fiberless networks. https://lnkd.in/gV56YPcb
