Tech: Los Ange­les Times: Broad­band Mar­ket Is About to Heat Up: “The regional phone com­pa­nies seem to be off to a strong start. In the first quar­ter, they added slightly more than 1 mil­lion broad­band lines, out­pac­ing cable com­pa­nies for the first time. In Cal­i­for­nia, DSL lines out­num­ber cable. Nation­wide, though, DSL and the phone com­pa­nies offer­ing it are a dis­tant sec­ond, account­ing for just more than one-third of the 30 mil­lion broad­band lines. High-speed Inter­net access remains a rel­a­tively small piece of rev­enue for phone and cable com­pa­nies. But it’s grow­ing while tra­di­tional cable and local phone ser­vices are flat­ten­ing out — and even shrinking.”
