Many years of unrealised fibre projects have left the USA trailing far behind Asia in the deployment of FttH networks. Despite having a very high total number of broadband subscribers, in terms of penetration (based on subscribers per 100 inhabitants), the USA dropped from 4th place in 2001 to 12th place in 2004 where it remained through 2005 and 2006. By 2007 the USA had dropped a further three places to 15th.
Back in 2006, BuddeComm published an analysis of the US broadband infrastructure market predicting that also here structural changes will be needed to take this market forwards.
