Telcos Falling Farther Behind Cable In
Broadband? 03/24/2005 02:23 PM
The ongoing battle between telcos and cablecos for broadband dominance seems to be one where it's much easier to note the mistakes than the successes. A new report is saying that telcos are falling even further behind cable -- which, if true, would suggest that the telcos have squandered a golden opportunity. It's not clear that it's true, though. Other studies have shown that the cheaper price and aggressive advertising practices by telcos have helpe d them close the gap with cable providers, who were first out of the gate in the US with broadband offerings. Of course, part of the problem is that the telcos still don't trust DSL. They never wanted to offer it to consumers initially, and only did so when they felt forced to by cable offerings -- even if DSL is now w hat's keeping them alive. However, the cheap DSL prices aren' t really that cheap and the forced bundling with local telephone lines makes the problem even worse. People are willing to buy cheap broadband -- but all of the strings attached mean that it's just as easy to go with cable -- the supposedly "expensive" provider. Add into that equation the fact that at least some cable providers are realizing that by offering VoIP for next to nothing they can steal away more telco customers, and the telcos need to do something. Right now, it appears their focus is on fiber , fiber and more fiber -- but it makes you wonder if they really would have been able to get away with denyi ng fiber to certain locations if they didn't get the regulatory changes they wanted. If cable were eating their lunch, suddenly fiber would look better, no matter what the regulatory environment.

Should Cable Broadband Be Regulated At
The State Level? 12/22/2003 01:46 PM
The latest Above the Crowd column from Bill Gurley takes a close look at a recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision concerning whether or not cable broadband services should be regulated as a telecommunications service by the states. Gurley trashes the ruling (which decided they should be) saying that it goes against what the federal government has made clear as well as against what makes the most sense for the internet. Instead, the only group to benefit from this ruling are the state Public Utility Commissions. Everyone else will suffer. He admits that some say the regulation could increase competitiveness, but points out that DSL is already regulated this way and is losing out to unregulated cable offerings (which are even more expensive). He suggests that the market has already shown that they favor an unregulated solution. I agree with the general premise, but I'm not so sure that the current lead cable has is because their "winning" the competitive battle so much as they've more effectively leveraged their own monopoly. I use cable modem service at home because that was the only choice I had - and no one else has come along to offer a compelling alternative yet. However, because my service is a monopoly, it's treated as such: meaning the customer service is dreadful and the prices keep rising. So far, the DSL providers have had their own problems. The real issue is that neither side is doing much to make consumers happy.

TV over broadband will come from
existing satellite and cable brands,
says Analysys 09/24/2004 03:29 AM
TV content aggregation is not a business for network operators, who will do better to form partnerships with satellite and cable operators to sell TV over broadband. Gross margins on TV can be as low as 20% but operators need TV services to compete with triple-play competitors. Fixed broadband (BB) operators providing TV reduce the net present value (NPV) of their business model over the first five years, according to Analysys calculations for this report. Gambling games are the most profitable entertainment option for network operators. [PRWEB Sep 24, 2004]

Wireless Competes with Cable, DSL

Wireless Competes with Cable, DSL 01/05/2004 01:40 PM
A handful of small companies are delivering wireless broadband access to residents and businesses in and around Seattle: Most of the companies use Wi-Fi to serve customers as far as five miles from an antenna and they're charging around $30 a month for a 1.5 Mbps service. These small operators are welcomed with open arms especially by residents who aren't served by any other type of broadband access. I'd love to see one of these startups expand and stay in business for a while. As this article notes, these small broadband wireless providers tend to come and go. The service providers targeting rural areas may have more success in the future if the FCC decides to loosen up power restrictions. Apparently the FCC is considering allowing operators in rural areas to use higher transmit power levels than operators in cities. In rural areas there's less potential for interference and more need to allow signals to travel far because people tend to be more spread out....
