DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “USA
– Fibre to the Premises (FttP) Market – Statistics and Analyses”
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
This report provides an overview of FttP and other fibre network
developments, including details of the major fibre deployments and key
market statistics.
Given the size of the US market, and the growing demand for data on both
fixed and mobile networks, there is continuous pressure for operators to
invest in fibre networks, and to push connectivity closer to consumers.
In recent years the US has seen increased activity from regional players
as well as the major telcos and cablecos.
Much of this activity was stimulated by Google Fiber following its
investments in a number of markets. Although Google Fiber (now managed
through Alphabet’s Access unit) began scaling back its efforts in late
2016, the company’s legacy has been profound. It encouraged the major
providers to reduce pricing for their similar offers, stimulated
interest among municipal leaders, and highlighted the fact that
haphazard and potentially duplicated fibre deployments are no effective
substitute for municipally-led wholesale fibre infrastructure accessable
to any provider.
Local networks supported by municipal governments have also sprung up
despite the lobbying efforts of AT&T and Verizon aimed at preventing
local competition. However, for their part AT&T and Verizon have both
refocussed efforts on FttP rather than FttN, looking at the benefits of
current investments for decades to come. G.fast is also being rolled
out, to a lesser degree, in areas where FttP is less feasible, while a
growing number of cablecos have also deployed DOCSIS3.1.
Key Developments:
- Cable ONE launches 1Gb/s service across 200 cities;
- Altice USA to deliver a 10Gb/s service across its footprint by 2022;
