World Broadband Statistics : La Fibre optique gagne du terrain sur le cable coax!

"La Fibre optique gagne du terrain sur le câble !"
D'après un rapport mondial de la société Point Topic il ya eu plus de nouveaux clients "Fibre Optique" que Cable/Docsis au 1er trimestre 2008.

C'est historique et du coup tout le monde y va de son communiqué de presse :

For the first time, more people around the world are signing up for fiber-optic broadband service than for cable Internet service, according to a British research firm.

Fiber providers added 4.2 million customers in the first quarter, while 2.5 million customers signed up for cable modems, according to a report released Wednesday by Point Topic.

The bulk of the new fiber subscribers are in China, where 2.5 million signed up, for a total of 16.7 million. The U.S. is in fourth place after Japan and Korea. Point Topic counted 303,000 new U.S. fiber customers, for a total of 2.6 million.

Qu'on se rassure, c'est loin d'être le cas en France...
