This IDC study addresses which Internet service provider (ISP) led the U.S. broadband Internet access market at the end of 4Q03. Additionally, IDC identifies the top 10 ISPs and their overall market share for broadband access subscribers. Highlights include:
Cable companies and the RBOCs take up nearly every position on the top 10 list.
AOL does not dominate the market for broadband Internet access as it does the overall market shares.
"ISPs that do not own the cable lines or the copper telephone wires will need to work hard and have laserlike focus on broadband access to crack the stranglehold of the cable companies and RBOCs on IDC's top 10 list." ? Steven Harris, research manager of IDC's ISP Markets research program
