Cable Telephony Subscriber Growth Remains Robust

A new report by researcher In-Stat shows cable telephony growth continues to be strong. Almost eight million new subscribers around the world have been added in the past year.

North American growth has been especially strong as cable operators near the end of their transition to VoIP-enabled network architectures.

In-Stat’s research found:

• Worldwide cable telephony service revenues are on track to reach $12.6 billion in 2008, up from $10.7 billion in 2007.
• Total worldwide cable telephony subscribers are projected to reach 37 million by the end of 2008, and rise to over 64 million by 2012.
• In the US, questions remain about whether or not the cable service bundle needs to have a wireless voice component. While wireless service is an integral part of the service bundle in countries like Canada and the United Kingdom, the collapse of the Pivot joint venture in the US has put wireless service on the back burner for most US cable operators.
