The report, entitled “Will the internet break? ISP economics assessment to 2012,” includes an assessment of the economic pressures on ISPs, in-depth analysis of the capabilities of current and emerging fixed broadband access platforms, and refers to Screen Digest data covering 20 Western European markets, the USA, Canada and Mexico. Screen Digest is a company providing business intelligence, research and analysis on the global media markets, based in London. The study found that tight regulation on broadband access in Western Europe has driven the dominance of DSL, while cable is the most popular platform in the US. Two main factors are squeezing profit margins: robust price competition and a swell in traffic which is pushing up bandwidth costs.

Monthly average revenues per user have eroded, and are predicted to continue to fall to 2012. For more information Click here
