Internet broadband access & VoIP: 2 epitomes of a growth market

And here’s some evidence i.e. figures from the French market.

  • Cable & DSL access figures: x9 in 4 years!

End of 2002: 1,4 million DSL lines opened

End of 2006: 10,5 million DSL lines installed + 600K cable accesses = 11,1 million (62m inhabitants in France)

  • Use of VoIP as a support for comunications (you may use it without even noticing): x5 in 1 year!

June 2005: 7% of overall voice communications

December 2005: 15%

October 2006: 40%
