| Emphasis shifting rapidly to FTTH/B |
| Posted: August 2009 | ||||||
 The rapid take-up of fibre-to-the-home/building (FTTH/B) and subsequent decline of ADSL technologies
, a situation not new in South Korea and Japan, is now spreading outside Asia, with western countries, notably the US, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands, expected to catch up over the next two years, according to research firm Ovum. Access fibre deployment is not confined to developed countries, the company added, noting emerging markets such as China and Malaysia engaged in very ambitious FTTH/B projects. “Even if we take into account an ele-ment of government and vendor hype for these markets, Ovum still forecasts a rapid take-up of advanced broadband services in those countries,” said Michael Philpott, practice leader of Ovum’s consumer team. The take-up in next-generation access technologies such as FTTH and FTTB will see traditional DSL technologies saturate at around 320 million lines in the residential market by 2014, with FTTH/B still growing at over 160 million lines by the end of the same year, the research firm projected. In the Asia-Pacific, the move to FTTH/B is expected to be even more pronounced, with FTTH/B connections overtaking DSL as the leading techno-logy in 2014.
