ISP Revenues Eroding Through 2012
www.EmploymentCrossing.com A new report finds that broadband connections in North America and Europe, measured at 155 million in 2007, will reach 228 million by 2012. The report, entitled “Will the internet break? ISP economics assessment to 2012,� includes an assessment of the economic pressures on ISPs, in-depth analysis of the capabilities of current and emerging fixed broadband access platforms, and refers to Screen Digest data covering 20 Western European markets, the USA, Canada and Mexico. Screen Digest is a company providing business intelligence, research and analysis on the global media markets, based in London. The study found that tight regulation on broadband access in Western Europe has driven the dominance of DSL, while cable is the most popular platform in the US. Two main factors are squeezing profit margins: robust price competition and a swell in traffic which is pushing up bandwidth costs. Traffic is set to intensify with mass video consumption via online platforms bringing content to the living room TV. Monthly average revenues per user have eroded, and are predicted to continue to fall to 2012. For more information Click here
