Research and Markets has announced the addition of 2005 Global Broadband - The rise of DSL to their offering.

Since its introduction, broadband has been growing at an astounding rate, propelled by the demand for the improved services that it facilitates. The early high growth in a small number of countries such as South Korea has now spread to most other countries, with the early developers starting to show signs of saturation. Although cable still predominates in North America, DSL is much stronger in the rest of the world, and is catching up against cable in the USA. Other technologies such as satellite are minor players.

By 2005, over one billion telephone lines are providing a robust, core global infrastructure capable of delivering Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) broadband to homes, offices, schools and governments using DSL. With that utility already in place to deliver the real economic and lifestyle benefits of broadband to the world's populations, DSL is the most effective and economical route to global broadband deployment. Most DSL-enabled phone lines are residential, but many are already being used for business purposes by people working at home outside normal office hours, telecommuting or keeping in touch with colleagues working in other time zones.
