Abstract
This report analyzes market trends and significant events that will impact
FTTx and BPL deployments over the next five years. It also addresses consumer
and competitive pressures that will influence these methods, the economics
associated with the deployment of these technologies and the opportunities
FTTx and BPL provides for vendors and service providers.
"Both consumer demand and business factors will drive growth in BPL," said
Chris Roden, research analyst at Parks Associates. "On the consumer side, many
rural residents don' t have access to DSL or cable, but every house in the U.S.
has access to power lines. This technology is often the only option for these
residents to receive broadband service. On the business side, utility
companies will also drive BPL' s growth. BPL gives utilities more information
to better manage power demand and troubleshoot line issues."
