Interesting numbers on the European cable space

October 22, 2008

I found a couple of interesting data points on the European cable TV and broadband markets today:

Cable Europe reports that digital cable subscribers in Europe grew 18% to 16.3 million in the first half of 2008. Germany leads the way with digital cable subscribers, at 3.4 million subscribers.
Numericable, the French cable operator that emerged in 2007 as the combination of assets from France Telecom and TDF and Noos (formerly UPC France), now has more than 100,000 subscribers to a 100 Mbps FTTH service that is comparable to what Verizon is doing here with FiOS. In comparison, France's heavyweight telecom operator - France Telecom - only has 14,000 subscribers to its FTTH broadband service.
