This IDC study addresses which Internet service provider (ISP) led the U.S. Internet access market at the end of the fourth quarter of 2003. Additionally, IDC identifies the top 10 ISPs and their overall market share. Highlights include the following:
The overall consumer ISP market is fluctuating only slightly.
AOL continued its dominance of the market for consumer Internet access accounts.
MSN's growth continued to slow as it increased focus on content distribution and de-emphasized 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 of IDC's ISP Markets research program
