USA - Telecommunications - Key Statistics

Synopsis

Archived report: This report was archived July 2011 and has not been updated. US fixed-line subscribers and revenues continued to decline during 2009 and 2010, while wireless subscriber numbers and revenues enjoyed strong growth, driven largely by the growth of 3G networks and services, increased SMS, MMS and mobile broadband use. Broadband continued to experience solid growth, with the USA still boasting the world’s largest broadband market, though its broadband penetration rank continues to languish around the middle of the OECD tables. The digital TV market also continued to enjoy strong growth, underpinned in particular by the analogue TV switch-off in June 2009. This report provides key statistical data for 2009 and 2010, covering the major telecommunications segments including fixed-line, wireless, broadband, Internet and broadcasting.
