This IDC study addresses which Internet service provider (ISP) led the U.S. Internet access market at the end of the first quarter of 2005. Additionally, IDC identifies the top 10 ISPs and their overall market shares. Highlights include the following:
The overall consumer ISP market is fluctuating.
AOL continued its dominance of the market for consumer Internet access accounts.
MSN's place on the top 10 ISP list continued to decline as it increased focus on content distribution and deemphasized its ISP business.
"The providers doing well in the market and on IDC's market share list are broadband and discount dial ISPs." ? Steven Harris, research manager, ISP Markets
