“The home broadband market is entering a time of renewed competition and innovation, with the emergence of several new players and growing fiber deployments,” said Kristen Hanich, Director, Research, Parks Associates. “While adoption of the original bundle, with pay-TV and voice services, is declining, new value-added services are providing new opportunities for increasing customer satisfaction and growing revenue. Optimized Wi-Fi and gateway-based cybersecurity are popular in the residential market, and in the MDU space, bulk internet and managed Wi-Fi deployments make this a competitive, but potentially lucrative, market.”
