According to a new C.A. Ingley & Co. study on broadband deployment in the U.S. and Canada, by 2008 the broadband race between cable and telcos will be a toss-up. The research firm predicts that DSL
households will hold a slight edge at 46% (or 27.3 million) of an estimated 60 million broadband households, compared to 42% (25.1 million) for cable broadband. Telcos get the nod on the strength of
their local voice and data expertise. Fixed satellite and terrestrial are expected to account for the other 12 percent (7.1 million).
