Broadband is moving beyond the PC and simple Internet applications. It will be about connecting numerous devices, providing consumers with a range of multimedia services in an always-on digital world. This shift will in turn change the broadband access market itself. This report, with a focus on Europe, details these trends, exploring the underlying drivers behind them, and what they mean for the broadband access market and its players." |
