Simulating the Impact(s) of Broadband
Growth rate?Role of regulation?Broadband packagingRole of new technologies and applications
How do these factors impact residential access line demand?

Broadband GrowthFrom New Applications?
October 30, 2003 23Copyright 2003 Global Insight, Inc.
Consider the Demand for New Applications
Is VOIP the “killer application”?
Will “entertainment” drive new demand? – VOIP– Digital TV and music– New applications and technologies
What is the role of price?

Price
If price of broadband access drops to $25:50% of Internet households would be broadband subscribersThis switch would occur even if there were no new applicationsSwitch occurs even if intellectual property rights are not solved
October 30, 2003 29Copyright 2003 Global Insight, Inc.
Potential Market Size
There are approximately 54 million Internet householdsThere are approximately 16 million broadband households (~30% of all Internet)If price drops to $25, the number of broadband households increases to 27 million (~50% of all Internet)
October 30, 2003 30Copyright 2003 Global Insight, Inc.
Implications
In the short run, the largest impetus for growth in broadband will come from reducing pricesThis growth would be at the expense of second linesDSL and cable modems are substitutes. The choice of type of broadband access is and will continue to be critical to ILEC performanceTo be sure, there are other avenues of growth (new adoption), such as from household formation, better content, new services, etc.But these will play a secondary role to changes in price

Relationship Between Price and Usage
During 2003, the number of wireless subscribers exceeded the number of fixed access linesIn developed economies, substitution and wireless data are becoming the growth engines for wirelessThere are important differences between the premiums for wireless-wireline and voice versus data that influence substitution

Technology and Substitution:The End of Boundaries in Telecommunications
A Multi-Client Study
October 30, 2003 40Copyright 2003 Global Insight, Inc.
Study Overview
The rapid adoption of high-speed cable access and DSL services, and the replacement of traditional telephones with mobile service, has caused the demand for landlines to plummet. As a result, we are in the midst of the most significant change in communications since the introduction of services more than 100 years ago.
Technology and Substitution: The End of Boundaries in Telecommunications, a new multi-client study from Global Insight, takes an in-depth look at the issues of technology and wireless substitution. Written by a team of leading telecommunications experts, Global Insight provides a comprehensive review of the industry, including a detailed discussion of the economics, regulatory issues, and technological trends.
