FCC says broadband growth slowed in U.S. - Stephen Lawson, Infoworld
The growth of broadband Internet access in the U.S. slowed in the first half of 2002, with 27 percent more lines installed in that period following a 33 percent gain in the second half of 2001, the U.S. FCC (Federal Communications Commission) reported this week. High-speed Internet connections continued to reach more parts of the country, with subscribers in 84 percent of the nation's zip codes, compared with 79 percent six months earlier. However, the growth rates for deployment of both ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and coaxial cable-based connections shrunk, according to a statement by the FCC.
